First Aid – Baby CPR

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency medical procedure for a victim of cardiac arrest or, in some circumstances, respiratory arrest CPR is performed in hospitals, or in the community by lay persons or by emergency response professionals.

For 50 years CPR has consisted of the combination of artificial blood circulation with artificial respiration i.e., chest compressions and lung ventilation. However, in March 2008 the american heart association and the european resuscitation council , in a reversal of policy, endorsed the effectiveness of chest compressions alone–without artificial respiration–for adult victims who collapse suddenly in cardiac arrest (see Cardiocerebral Resuscitation below). CPR is generally continued, usually in the presence of advanced life support (such as from a medical team or paramedics), until the patient regains a heart beat (called “return of spontaneous circulation” or “ROSC”) or is declared dead.

Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System

The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS, known as SIMDUT, Système d’information sur les matières dangereuses utilisées au travail in the other national language) is Canadas national hazard communication standard. The key elements of the system, which came into effect on Oct 31.1988 are cautionary labelling of containers of WHMIS controlled products, the provision of material safety data sheet (MSDSs) and worker education and training programs.

WHMIS is an example of synchronization and cooperation amongst Canada’s federal, provincial and territorial governments. The coordinated approach avoided duplication, inefficiency through loss of scale and the interprovincial trade barriers that would have been created had each province and territory established its own hazard communication system.

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

Filed under: Kelowna First Aid Videos — Tags: aed, aed plus, automated, canada, cardiopulminary, child care first aid, club, courses, cpr, defibrillator, external, first, first aid, first aid club, help, kelowna first aid, lumby, okanagan, okanagan first aid, okanaganfirstaid.com, osooyoos, peachland bc, red cross, rescuer, resuscitation, salmon arm, training, vernon first aid, zoll — admin @ 12:23 pm

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.

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.
