Take "Normal Lifesaving Course I"

[O'age] September 20, 2016 16:00

From the viewpoint that it should be a little useful when volunteering, I wanted to learn how to use AED. I have a chance to receive normal lifesaving I at the fire department, so I will report it.

 

The cost was 1400 yen for the course, 82 yen for the postage stamp of the certificate, and the time was about 3 hours. There are two instructors from the Disaster Prevention Association. Participants are men and women (7+8) in their 40s and 70s.

 

For the first time after taking the course, I realized that it was not enough to just know how to use AED. Before attending the course, the AED had a voice guide and thought that it would be nice to do it, but I realized that that alone was not enough.

In order to understand the content, it is best to take a course, but a part is described below.

 

1. Importance of First Aid If a bystander (person present) gives first aid in the event of an injured person, the life-saving effect will be improved and the progress of treatment will have a positive effect.

2.Bystanders play two important roles, the most important role of rescue,: (1) early reporting of cardiopulmonary arrest to the fire department and (2) primary lifesaving treatment (early cardiopulmonary resuscitation and AED treatment).

3.Life-saving measures are three treatments: cardiopulmonary resuscitation, defibrillation using AED, and airway foreign body removal, which are performed to save the lives of the victim.

 

Points

①Safety of the surroundings: The victim and myself.

②Ask the people around you for help loudly, call 119 and request the AED to be transported.

③Chest compressions are strong and fast and constant. Treatment with AED.

I understand it.

 

Lecturers were told that there were many people who work in buildings where many people gather, such as department stores. If you are interested, why don't you take this course? Training using dolls was also a good experience.
