The workshop commenced with a brief introduction by the team of paramedics, who highlighted the importance of CPR in emergency situations. They explained that CPR is a critical skill that can help save lives during cardiac arrest by maintaining blood flow to the brain and other vital organs until professional medical help arrives.
The session began with an explanation of the basic principles of CPR. The paramedics detailed the circumstances under which CPR should be administered. Key points included the recognition of cardiac arrest, the importance of immediate action and calling emergency services.
The paramedics demonstrated the correct techniques for performing CPR, including chest compressions and rescue breaths. Students and staff were shown how to position their hands correctly and apply the right amount of pressure during chest compressions.
A few students and teachers were given the opportunity to practice CPR techniques on mannequins under the guidance of the paramedics. This hands-on practice helped reinforce the skills learned during the demonstration.
The CPR workshop provided valuable training to the attendees. The paramedics' expertise and the interactive nature of the session ensured that the attendees left with a deep understanding of how to perform CPR effectively. This knowledge is crucial, as it can make a significant difference in emergency situations, potentially saving lives.
