First aid Training

31 January 2011

The first aid training started with a practice run of CPR on dummies. There after a scenario was created and the students had to role-play and apply our first aid training. It showed us what chaos an accident scene can be. We also learned that you always have to stay calm in any situation where someone got hurt when trying to help them.

Today with our first aid practical training we learned how bandage and treat different wounds. We  learned to splint broken arms and legs. How to handle and treat impaled objects. In the theory we learned about some basic human biology, how to handle patients with strokes, epileptic fits and snake bites. We again did scenarios and had to follow the proper steps when treating a patient.

We continued with first aid training where we did scenarios at a swimming pool and what to do if someone drowned. The we were tested on all the practical and theory of first aid.
