Whether you’re an adventurous winter enthusiast or just dealing with the cold in your daily routine, here are some first aid skills you must know in the winter to ensure safety.
Continue readingThere are many different CPR and first aid courses out there, but the majority of them are given for a period of 2 years. After that, CPR re-certification will be required to keep the license.
Here are several reasons why you’d really want to do this.
Keeping your CPR skills sharp.
It is always good to plan in advance and sign up for CPR re-certification classes at least six months before your current license expires. Even if you don’t need the certification for work, it is still crucial to maintain this skill in top notch condition so that you don’t panic or freeze should anything happen.
That and the additional fact that CPR, while not a complex practice to learn, can be physically taxing. Giving chest compressions to an unconscious person, keeping the compressions strong and delivering them at the right intervals for more than a few minutes will tire even a trained professional. You need to develop strength and muscle memory around the practice to be able to do it well. Practicing every two years is the very bare minimum if you want to keep it sharp.
A fast and precise response to an emergency is the main goal of those classes.
Follow and learn more advanced CPR techniques
Additionally, medicine as a practice, is based on science and as such never stands in one place. Procedures are improved and developed all the time. This means you will likely not only get a new licence when you get re-certified, but also learn a few new valuable things about the procedure.
For example, did you know that mouth to mouth resuscitation is no longer considered not only necessary but even simply more efficient. This happened in three stages.
First it was the only way of delivering CPR. Then it was accepted that CPR without mouth to mouth is almost as good. Now we know there is no evidence to support mouth to mouth resuscitation at all, since the procedure works just as well without it. Nowadays chest compressions are widely accepted as the more efficient method. We don’t know what will be discovered next; organizations like the National CPR foundation are continuously examining common practices and their results to develop more efficient CPR and first aid techniques.
Finally, re-certification can now be done at least partially online. Online CPR renewal, while slightly less efficient than full CPR recertification, is still much better than no CPR re-certification at all.
We urge everyone to get your licence renewed on a regular basis so that you have a better chance to save a life in an emergency.
We lead a mostly happy and safe life here in Canada, and have access to healthcare and safer roads. Still, danger can catch up with any of us without a moment’s notice. When that happens, you need to be able to respond with emergency measures on the spot.
This is why we strongly suggest for every adult to enroll onto a program for CPR training Richmond Hill or our Brampton CPR course depending on your area of residence. We have multiple locations in the GTA teaching CPR level C, giving courses for CPR/AED Level HCP re-certification and others. Places where danger lurks are many and will often surprise you.
It is pretty obvious that swimming pools and outdoor treks are dangerous, but there is also the bathroom where people can slip and fall. There’s the kitchen with its many hot surfaces and sharp utensils. There is the parking lot and stairwells.There are various workplaces with heavy machinery, sharp tools and other types of danger, including chemical and worse. The list goes on and on.
Some of those places hold more danger than the others and the risks there also vary. We all hope that the knowledge you get in our Brampton CPR course will never come in handy, but just by going through this list, you can clearly see that the world is not as safe as we like to think.
When you need to respond to a medical emergency, the difference between taking the CPR training Richmond Hill and not taking it may mean the life of a friend or loved one.
There are many nuances to first aid and CPR that an untrained person simply does not know. For example, when less is more. You will learn to tell when a first aid procedure is inadvisable and can actually cause more harm than good. Telling between types of emergencies is also an asset. There is then the importance of getting and regularly renewing your CPR training license. Without it the legal implications can be very serious. Performing CPR without a license may make you liable for lawsuits.
Don’t risk ruining your own life as you’re trying to save another’s; enroll in a CPR training Richmond Hill facility to gain this valuable lifesaving skill, and as we said, we all hope you will never need to use it in a real medical emergency, but if and when it happens – you will surely wish you had taken the training.
When we think of CPR training, the situations we picture are very extreme scenarios.
We keep thinking they are not going to happen to us… up until the moment they occur. We try to keep our families safe, watch over our kids and hope for the best.
The problem is, when disaster strikes, it always comes without warning.
And the difference between life and death is often not the 911 response time. What it often really depends on is whether there’s someone around who took a CPR course.
If you are still considering whether you should seek out and take our CPR training in Richmond Hill, here’s a question that can help anyone decide.
Do you want to know what to do when your child goes into cardiac arrest?
When you call 911 and wait for the paramedics to arrive as your loved one is slipping away from you – CPR training may be the only hope they have.
Even if the ambulance is minutes away, the chances of survival in cardiac arrest drastically increase if cardiopulmonary resuscitation is performed on the spot. That’s why you need to take our course for CPR training in Richmond Hill – for that one time the life of a relative or friend is in your hands.
There are many reasons that could cause cardiac arrest, but before we go into them, let’s define what it is first.
Cardiac arrest is characterised by:
1. Sudden Collapse
2. Lack of Pulse
3. Absence of Breathing
4. Loss of Consciousness
Once you see those symptoms in a victim, performing CPR may be the only thing that can save their life.
1. Heart conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart attacks, pulse problems
2. Drowning (inhalation of water into the lungs)
3. Electrocution or extreme pain
4. Choking (from gas or obstruction of the breathing tract)
5. Trauma, such as falling or being hit by something
There are multiple situations in life where one can suffer from cardiac arrest without any previous conditions. One can get hit by a car while crossing the road, or drown in a lake.
That’s when your Richmond Hill CPR course will seem like a godsend.
Finally, taking our Richmond Hill or Brampton First Aid course will sometimes allow you to spot cardiac arrest before it happens.
By observing precluding symptoms such as fatigue, fainting, dizziness, chest pain or vomiting, a person trained in CPR can sometimes not just treat but prevent cardiac arrest.
Be ready to save a life. Call us now and enlist to one of our town of Richmond Hill first aid courses. We’re here to help you be there for others.
