  1. Walking covered, who wants to tango! By Freddie Stevens

  2. Rehearsing those first steps! • Danger • Response (Shout) • Airway • Breathing

  3. Response! • Alert • All of you… I hope! • Voice • Give a voice command in each ear… Why? • Pain • Firm pat on both shoulders • Unresponsive • If none of the above! • This basic scale of responsiveness will be referred to a lot through the year!

  4. Make area safe before approaching Yes Danger? No Talk to the patient Yes Response? No Yes Airway obstruction? If safe, clear it No Are they Breathing? Yes! NO! Recovery Position CPR!!

  5. Somebody remind me!

  6. How to do Compressions! • Interlock your fingers • Place your hands in the middle of the patients chest, 1-2 inches above the bottom of the sternum • Lean over your patient • “Lock-out” your elbows • Begin compressions

  7. After 30 compressions! • Open their airway the same way as during the primary survey • Pinch their nose • Make a full seal with your mouth to theirs • Attempt to deliver a breath • Take your face away from theirs before attempting to deliver the next breath. • Someone demonstrate with Dennis!

  8. How can we take this further?

  9. When CPR is different! • Drownings • DANGER!! • 5 breaths before 30:2 cycling • If alone do 1 minute worth of CPR before getting help • Children • 5 breaths before 30:2 cycling • Single hand compressions • Smaller breaths • Babies • There are a lot of differences here.

  10. So what is different with babies? • Primary survey! • Cant understand you. • Gentle rub of the feet as a response check. • 5 breaths before the 30:2 cycling • Only 2 fingers to do compressions • Make full seal around patients mouth AND NOSE! • Even smaller breaths.

  11. Demo and practice Please ask any ops members if you don’t understand any of this!

  12. This bit may shock you! • A basic first aid qualification now requires that you be able to operate an AED, that’s an Automated External Defibrillator. • This is, thankfully, a little used, but life saving, piece of equipment. • AEDs can be found in big shopping centres, train stations, etc… as well as on duties.

  13. So how do I operate it! • 1st you have to EXPOSE the patients chest • Tough cuts to remove any clothing and any small metal jewellery on the chest • 2nd Dry/ Shave patients chest if needed • 3rd attach pads • 1 pad on top right of chest and 1 pad on bottom left of chest • 4th clear the patient and analyse • 5th Shock if necessary/ re-asses patients breathing

  14. Slow demo and talk through

  15. Questions about this No question is a stupid one, this is important so please ask away.

  16. Practice time with full speed demo
