With good asthma control, your child should not miss school and should be able to participate fully in school activities including sports.

Regular, clear communication with the school can help your child maintain good asthma control. You can help to prevent asthma problems at school by talking to your child’s teachers and by making sure you child has proper asthma treatment.

Meet with your child’s teachers each year before classes start

Give teachers a copy of your child’s asthma action plan and explain what it says.
List and explain your child’s asthma triggers and why it’s important to avoid them. (Some common triggers in the classroom include furry animals, dust, mould and strong smells.)
Show teachers your child’s asthma medicines and how to use them properly – make sure the medicines are well labelled.
Make sure the teachers know which medicine is the rescue medicine that helps in an asthma emergency (usually the blue inhaler).
Ask about the school’s rules about asthma medicines – stress the importance of allowing your child to carry his medicines with him at all times.
Ask about policies for field trips – with a bit of extra planning most trips should be safe.
Offer to arrange an information session with a Certified Asthma Educator or Certified Respiratory Educator.
Make sure your child’s teachers know what to do in an emergency and whom to contact

What to do in an asthma attack

Sit child down, with her back straight.
Give child 2 puffs of her rescue medicine. It’s usually in a blue puffer (for example, Ventolin®).
If the child’s breathing is not getting easier, call 911 or your local emergency number.
Keep giving child puffs of her rescue medicine until the ambulance arrives.
Call the child’s parents or emergency contact person.

Kelowna CPR Types of CPR in Canada CPR A CPR B CPR C Okanagan First Aid Courses 250.878.6690 www.okanaganfirstaid.com

In Canada, first aid certificates are awarded by one of several national organizations including the Red Cross, the Lifesaving Society and St. John Ambulance. Or they can also be issued by sub-national organizations. The terms “Emergency First Aid” and “Standard First Aid” are generic and based on a Health Canada (a federal department of the Government of Canada) review and approval of a training organization’s curriculum / syllabus (training content), standards and other factors. Workplace safety regulations and standards for first aid vary by province depending on occupation. However, as some occupations are governed by federal, not provincial, workplace safety regulations, such as the transportation industry (marine, aviation, rail), trainees need to confirm with their employer as to exactly what specific training and certification standards comply with the applicable regulatory agencies, federal or provincial.

Emergency First Aid: is an 8-hour course covering primarily life-threatening emergencies: CPR, bleeding, choking and other life-threatening medical emergencies.
Standard First Aid: is a 16-hour course that covers the same material as Emergency First Aid and will include training for some, but not all, of the following: breaks; burns; poisons, bites and stings; eye injuries; head and neck injuries; chest injuries; wound care; emergency child birth; and multiple casualty management.
Medical First Responder (BTLS – known by different names among different Canadian organizations): is a 40 hour course. It requires Standard First Aid certification as a prerequisite. Candidates are trained in the use of oxygen, automated external defibrillators, airway management, and the use of additional emergency equipment.

[edit]CPR

CPR certification in Canada is broken into several levels. Depending on the level, the lay person will learn the basic one-person CPR and choking procedures for adults, and perhaps children, and infants. Higher-level designations also require two-person CPR to be learned. Depending on provincial laws, trainees may also learn the basics ofautomated external defibrillation (AED).^[5]

Level A is the lowest level of CPR training. Trainees learn how to perform the standard one-rescuer CPR and choking procedures on adults.
Level B requires the same procedures as Level A, but trainees learn to perform these maneuvers on children and infants in addition to adults.
Level C requires the same maneuvers as Level B, and trainees are also taught how to perform two-person CPR.
Level HCP (Health Care Professional) was introduced in Canada in response to new guidelines set by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation.^[6] In addition to the techniques taught in Level C, artificial resuscitation, AED use (to certification standards), and bag-valve-mask use is taught. Anyone with CPR-HCP certification is considered AED certified.
