First Aid Day 2

Objectives:  I can define CPR.  I can identify how to respond in the event of an emergency.  I can identify which method of potentially life-saving techniques should be administered to a victim.  I am able to perform these potentially life- saving techniques.

Let’s review what we learned last class…  What are the six steps for checking an unconscious victim?  What are the ABC’s ?  Tell me the steps for Conscious Choking  Tell me what to do for Unconscious Choking- sing it to me!

RESCUE BREATHING  You go through the first four steps to checking the unconscious victim…  Administer 2 Breaths (Step 5)  If breath goes in, we know to check the pulse and for bleeding (Step 6)  VICTIM HAS A PULSE- this is the indicator (and is not bleeding)  RESCUE BREATHING  Administer 1 Breath every 5 seconds for 2 minutes.  After two minutes, LLF and recheck pulse.  If nothing changes, keep going!

Remember…  Tilt the head back  Pinch the nose  Completely cover the mouth (seal the airway)  Breaths should be about 1 second long and have some strength to them!

Rescue Breathing Video  The following video is showing a sample of what rescue breathing looks like.  Please note that he says to continue the cycle for one minute; WE CONTINUE for 2 MINUTES.  5Mup29JQ&feature=player_detailpage 5Mup29JQ&feature=player_detailpage

CPR- Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation  You go through the first four steps for checking an unconscious victim…  You administer 2 breaths (step 5) and the air goes in.  We check for a pulse and for bleeding (step 6)  VICTIM DOES NOT HAVE A PULSE- this is the indicator (and is not bleeding)  CPR  30 Compressions, 2 breaths repeated for 2 minutes (approx. 4 cycles in 2 minutes)  After two minutes, LLF and recheck the pulse; nothing changes- KEEP GOING!

CPR Video  Please note that emergency personnel have masks; obviously we do not and have to fully cover our victim’s mouth.  kCrdhQ&feature=player_detailpage kCrdhQ&feature=player_detailpage

A little bit more about CPR  Cardio= Heart  Pulmonary= Lungs  Resuscitation= Revive  Given properly and immediately to sudden cardiac arrest victims, CPR can save lives.  Effective bystander CPR, provided immediately after cardiac arrest, can double a victim’s chance of survival.

Four reasons to stop performing these techniques…  You are too tired to continue.  Scene becomes unsafe.  Trained rescuer arrives and takes over.  Condition of the victim improves.

Now tell me, what’s worse than one victim?

Time to practice…  I will give you and your partner various scenarios to practice on your mannequin.  Think about the details of the scenario and remember to go through the steps.

Review Sheet  Your review sheet will be started now in class.  Try to answer as many questions as possible without using your notes.  Review sheet MUST be completed for homework. We will go over the answers at the beginning of next block.

First Aid- Day 3  Objectives:  Review all the information for the core assessment and quiz.  Demonstrate knowledge of first aid through a variety of activities.  Apply knowledge of first aid during assessments.

Discuss Review Sheet Answers  Check for accuracy.  Which questions did you struggle with?  Do you have additional questions?

Teacher and Student  Using the script provided, you are going to take turns administering the scenarios, as well as the first aid.  Do not go in order.  Correct your partner if they make a mistake.

Creating a First Aid Brochure  You will each make a brochure that could be used as a quick reference guide for others who may need to administer first aid.  You must include the following in your brochure:  All four Core Assessment Scenarios (Conscious Choking, Unconscious Choking, Rescue Breathing, and CPR).  Since you will be folding the paper into thirds, you will end up with six sections.  You need a cover, an informational page, and then the four core assessment scenarios.  You are going to be manually making the brochures, so it is expected that you construct this neatly.  Images are helpful, but I understand if you struggle with art.

Next class: Core Assessment  Be prepared to perform in front of the class.  You may get one of four possible scenarios, so please be prepared for all of them.  Don’t forget to complete the review sheet and practice on a pillow!

After we finish Core Assessments…  There will be a written quiz on first aid.  Study review sheet and notes and you will do just fine!
