Emergency First Aid – CPR & AED – 15 Nov

Description

Ambulance Victoria is running a CPR and AED use class

Learn a procedure to save someone’s life 

CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, an emergency procedure used if a person’s heart stops beating or breathing ceases.

CPR combines chest compressions and artificial ventilation (breathing) to save a person’s life. When performed right away, it can increase a person’s chances of survival after cardiac arrest.

AED stands for Automated External Defibrillator, a portable device used to treat people suffering from sudden cardiac arrest, a potentially fatal condition in which the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating correctly.

An AED analyzes the heart’s rhythm and, when necessary, delivers an electrical shock (defibrillation) to help the heart get back into a normal rhythm.

Join the course and learn how to use the defibrillator that we have in our workspace.

Admission is free for members.
