A Cardiac Arrest is a sudden and life-threatening medical emergency that requires immediate intervention as the delay in prompt treatment can significantly compromise an individual’s health and lead to death. However, through practicing the chain of survival with early recognition and call for assistance, early CPR and early defibrillation, the chances of survival can increase dramatically In this course, you will learn CPR skills on both an Adult and Infant in line with the Australian Resuscitation Guidelines whilst utilising the universal pneumonic ‘DRSABCD’. Further you will learn to use an Automated defibrillator (AED), demonstrate the recovery position and what to do if the casualty regurgitates or vomits. At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to: • Recognise and diagnose the signs and symptoms of a cardiac arrest. • Locate the correct compression point to effectively administer CPR. • Demonstrate CPR on an unconscious, non-breathing adult and infant. • Demonstrate effective and safe use of an AED, delivering at least one shock. • Identify when and how to manage an unconscious breathing casualty Presented by Dounia Assafiri
