  • Actar 911 is a simple training tool that has helped millions of people learn the steps of CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation). Described as a ‘masterpiece of simplicity’ the manikin has only 5 components yet it provides all the necessary features to learn the basic steps of rescue breathing and chest compressions.
  • It’s simplicity also made it affordable: a first-aid training organization could acquire from 10 to 30 Actar manikins for the price of one conventional manikin. Instructors could teach everyone together, and students no longer had to share or wait for their turn to practice. Instructors also enjoyed the convenience of carrying 10 manikins in a light, compact bag.Shortly after its introduction, large community training events with names like ‘Save-A-Life-Saturday’ were taking place in cities across Canada and the USA where thousands of people were being trained in CPR.Actar 911 went on to win several awards including the prestigious Canada Award for Business Excellence. The manikin was featured on a stamp issued by Canada Post. In January 07, Actar 911 will be presented alongside other Canadian innovations in a CBC two-hour television special The Greatest Canadian Invention.Ref: http://www.studioinnova.com

    Naramata BC First Aid Training- Tennis Lessons and common Shoulder injuries

    Naramata BC Tennis Club - First Aid

    Naramata First Aid seminar on tennis related injuries proved to be a success in BC.  Last week a lesson on first aid shoulder slings. If you would like to take one of our fitness first aid courses or any other of our standard child first aid coutrses. contact our Training Supervisor at: (Groups welcome) http://www.okanaganfirstaid.com.

    Shoulder problems, including pain, are one of the more common reasons for physician visits for musculoskeletal symptoms. The shoulder is the most movable joint in the body. However, it is an unstable joint because of the range of motion allowed. It is easily subject to injury because the ball of the upper arm is larger than the shoulder socket that holds it. To remain stable, the shoulder must be anchored by its muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Some shoulder problems arise from the disruption of these soft tissues as a result of injury or from overuse or underuse of the shoulder. Other problems arise from a degenerative process in which tissues break down and no longer function well.

    Shoulder pain may be localized or may be referred to areas around the shoulder or down the arm.

    Kelowna First Aid Training – Zoll AED Plus Automated External defibrillator – CPR

    When a cardiac arrest occurs, the fact is that only half of the victims will need a shock. The other half requires CPR resuscitation.

    You deserve an automated external defibrillator (AED) that helps you all the time. And, only one AED can actually see when you are doing CPR resuscitation and help you do it well. You need more than just commands, without assistance. That’s not smart, and it’s certainly not help.

    ZOLL’s AED Plus® features Real CPR Help®, a tool that is able to actually see what you are doing and provide feedback to help you do it well. Audio and visual prompts help you rescue with confidence and clarity unmatched by any other automated external defibrillator (AED).

    • Not pushing hard enough? It will tell you when to push harder.
    • Pushing hard enough? It will say, “Good compressions.”
    • Not pushing fast enough? A metronome will lead you to the right rate.
    • It will even show you the depth of each compression. In real time.
    • Not yet started? The AED Plus will tell you again to get started.
    • Compressions stopped? It will tell you to continue.

    ZOLL believes an AED should not just deliver a shock. It should also help the rescuer provide high-quality cardiopulminary resuscitation cpr. That’s why you need ZOLL’sAED Plus with Real CPR Help.

    The AED Plus offers:

    Real CPR Help for rate and depth of compressions.

    Kelowna First Aid Basics – (British Red Cross Video) Sprains and Strains

    A sprain (from the  French espraindre – to wring) is an injury which occurs to ligaments caused by being stretched beyond their normal capacity and possibly torn. Muscular tears caused in the same manner are referred to as a strain. In cases where either ligament or muscle tissue is torn, immobilization and surgical repair may be necessary.

    Okanagan First Aid Stop bleeding – ( British Red Cross Video )

    Bleeding, technically known as hemorrhaging or haemorrhaging (the latter is the preferred international spelling as per the World Health Organisation and many other international medical agencies) (see American and British spelling differences) is the loss of blood from the circulatory system.[1] Bleeding can occur internally, where blood leaks from blood vessels inside the body or externally, either through a natural opening such as the vagina, mouth, nose, or anus, or through a break in the skin. The complete loss of blood is referred to as exsanguination,[2] and desanguination is a massive blood loss. Loss of 10-15% of total blood volume can be endured without clinical sequelae in a healthy person, and blood donation typically takes 8-10% of the donor’s blood volume.
