Today we continued CPR and First Aid. Students were excited to receive their lifeguarding packs. The packs are needed to carry all the essential to treat people while working as a lifeguard.
We started the day, reviewing the steps and then acted out different first aid scenarios and the emergency action plan to follow.
The group practiced checking for a pulse and how to position unconscious victims for help;
We also learned how to treat and wrap a burn
We all learned how to properly perform CPR on different aged victims with an AED;
After learning how to do CPR on their own, students worked in teams, putting their newly acquire skills into action for real life situations they could face.
Overall, we learned a lot about using CPR and first aid to save lives as well as prevent serious situations.
