Basic Life Support

Basic life support can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved.Statistics from St John Ambulance show that in the U.K. alone around 140,000 people die each and every year in situations where basic first aid could have been beneficial.These statistics include just less than 900 people who choked, 2,500 people who had a blocked airway and 29,000 people who suffered cardiac arrest.It’s no surprise when you consider that 59% of people surveyed don’t feel confident enough to save a life.  This course establishes an understanding of basic life support•  Adult Casualty •  Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for Adults •  Child or Infant Casualty •  Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for Infants and Children •  Obstructed airways •  Choking Adult •  Choking Child •  Choking Infant •  Documenting and reporting •  Final Summary
