First Aid Basics - Airway, Breathing and Circulation

Do you know what to do if your friend falls, cuts himself and is freely bleeding?  What would you do if someone was not breathing?  In this class we will learn what to do in the case of one of these emergencies.  We will learn about protecting ourselves from hazards like blood and we will learn how to safely approach someone who is hurt.  We will make a big mess while learning how the heart pumps blood through the body and we will use balloons to simulate the lungs breathing.  The class is structured with a short lecture at the beginning, followed by practice of the basic skills.  Once the skills are mastered we will simulate real-life accidental injuries to practice our skills.  We think that everyone should know how to give CPR and how to use an AED, so we will do a short practice of these skills as well. 

There is no prior first aid skills or knowledge necessary for this class.    go back
