Attending a CPR First Aid Course Equips People to Save Lives
Great feedback from First Aid training courses that highlight how being well trained does save lives. These quotes have been taken from course attendees that have fed back through CPR First Aid's Facebook page.
- (1888PressRelease) December 05, 2012 - It's not new news to society that elderly people are susceptible to heart attacks or sudden falls that may lead to them requiring CPR. The problem is when this occurs how many people are capable of giving aid to the person in those vital few minutes just after the incident? It's been proved that people who administer CPR can save lives just through having knowledge of how to perform the life-saving act.
CPR First Aid courses are the first step an individual can take in order to be able to put back into society and potentially save someone's life. The first aid courses teach all the basics, with no previous medical experience necessary. While learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation is relatively easy, knowing the simple methods that are taught can prove to be heroic. The courses have been highly praised by past attendees, with many people leaving testimonies hailing the work of the instructors. Speaking about his instructor Jeff, a man named Kevin who recently took the course said; "He encouraged feedback and questions and the interaction between us was great." Other plaudits have left their vote of thanks too. Another positive piece of feedback came from Vlasta Birindzic who happily stated; "I had the most interesting and fun first aid training ever thanks to the professional trainer Daclen."
Browsing through the feedback left by the happy new First Aiders leaves rather an empowering feeling on you. It seems that not only do these willing people learn a skill that could be crucial in saving a strangers life, but they also make new friends on the course that creates a fantastic little online community. Indeed reading through the feedback it looks like some of these friendships have actually extended further than being online buddies. Irrespective of the nature of friendships created, online or in person, the key point to underline has to be that it's fantastic to see a group of trainers offering a skill to learn that brings people together.
Many members of the public are the first to complain when emergency services arrive late, however surely if more people learn CPR we can solve some emergencies without needing professionals immediately on the scene. This also would mean that the professionals aren't wasting time performing a CPR process that could be done by anyone, and can actually immediately get on with giving professional treatment to the person. CPR First Aid courses offer people the opportunity to make this happen. Just for making one-off short-term commitment knowledge can be shared that means the public can look after each other and collectively save lives.
The people who have completed CPR First Aid courses also make a very valid point that not only is CPR handy to save elderly people, but it can also have a dramatic impact on the lives of children. It's natural for any child to try to eat and swallow things that they have no idea what they are. However these seemingly fun activities can potentially turn into a fatal catastrophe if no-one around has CPR. Children often get something stuck in their throat and need CPR to unblock their supply of air. Nowadays, as parents, people should really be the effort to learn CPR, as it's impossible to know when your child might require it. Choking is a major cause of death in young children and if there is knowledge out there to combat it in the form of CPR it should really be learnt by the parents. It could also be said that only one parent learning CPR is nowhere near as effective in a crisis as both parents having the CPR skills. This is because one person can tire very easily, so switching is always a useful option.
After assessing the uses of learning CPR it has to be said that it really is something everyone should consider, particularly as the majority of people seem to have had a fantastic time anyway. There is no price to put on a human life; saving one could well make you feel far richer in happiness than money can ever buy. The contented feeling of having saved someone will remain with you for the rest of your life.
What a breath of fresh air it is to see something that is an organization putting positive vibes back into society, sometimes a rarity in today's world. Improving our feeling as individuals combined with saving the lives of others has to make CPR First Aid courses an absolutely fantastic choice in anybody's book, regardless of age, gender or religion.
