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.
