Study Notes

First Aid/CPR/AED Instructor Key Points

Participants perform skills effectively when provided with proper instruction, feedback, and encouragement.
Instructors must adhere to the course outline and lesson plans for standardized delivery.
Health and safety procedures are integrated within the First Aid/CPR/AED program to ensure comprehensive training.
The use of video segments is mandatory as they provide consistent skill explanations and demonstrations.
If a participant fails to perform critical skills consistently, instructors should encourage participation while explaining the inability to receive certification.
When a participant struggles with CPR hand placement, clarify by directing them to the center of the chest for compressions.

Classroom Arrangement and Responsibilities

Classroom arrangement should ensure each participant can view the instructor, practice skills freely, and interact comfortably for feedback.
Instructors are tasked with observing and evaluating each participant's skill performance using designated assessment tools.

Emergency Response Procedures

In the event of a collapsed, non-responsive person, immediately have someone call 9-1-1 while initiating CPR.
Check for breathing for at least 5 seconds but no more than 10 seconds before proceeding with CPR.
Before conducting a head-to-toe assessment on a responsive individual, obtain consent to provide care.
For suspected head, neck, or spinal injuries, advise the individual to remain in their current position until EMS arrives.
Always call 9-1-1 first if a person exhibits signs of a heart attack.

First Aid Techniques

For muscle, bone, or joint injuries, provide care until EMS arrives and be mindful of the individual’s condition.
Relocate individuals showing symptoms of heat exhaustion to a cooler environment for recovery.
For choking individuals unable to cough, speak, or breathe, provide both back blows and abdominal thrusts.
Ensure proper hand placement in the center of the chest for delivering chest compressions during adult CPR.
The CPR cycle consists of 30 chest compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths.

AED Usage

Before the AED analyzes heart rhythm, ensure no one is touching the patient.
If the AED indicates "no shock advised" after analysis, resume CPR promptly until re-evaluation or signs of life are observed.
For small children or infants, if AED pads might touch, position one pad on the chest and the other on the back.
