3 Common Incidents
Bleeding
Severe bleeding decreases the blood volume and has to be addressed immediately.
What to do?
- Apply pressure to the wound with a gloved hand.
- Bandage the wound over a sterile dressing.
- If the bleeding persists, apply a tourniquet.Â
- Call 911.
Cardiac Arrest
Surviving sudden cardiac arrest is nearly impossible unless someone performs CPR or uses an AED combined with CPR.
What to do?
- Call 911 as soon as possible.
- Use an AED immediately and alternate it with 2-minute rounds of CPR.
- If an AED is not available. Perform CPR at a 100 compressions per minute rate.
Choking
In most cases, choking leads to a coughing fit, but if there’s no one around to help and the airway is completely blocked, it can lead to death.
What to do?
- If someone is choking, try to dislodge the object by combining any two of the following
three options: back blows, abdominal thrusts, and chest thrusts. - Always stand behind the person and deliver up to 5 firm back blows, abdominal thrusts or chest thrusts.

Why You Should Invest in an AED
An automated external defibrillator is an easy-to-use medical device that can help you analyze someone’s heart rhythm. It notifies you if you must deliver an electrical shock to help restore the heartbeat.
All emergency rescuers and police carry AEDs to use in emergencies. They are always available in most public places, including malls, sports arenas, gyms, and even on airplanes.Â
Cardiac arrests can also take place within office settings. Keep your employees safe; get an AED for your office!

Testimonials!
As someone whose first language is not English, I sometimes found it difficult to fully understand some of the technical terms and hands-on instructions. However, Hosam was incredibly patient, kind, and supportive throughout the entire course. He took extra time to explain things clearly and made sure I understood each step. His friendly attitude really made me feel more confident and comfortable.
I truly appreciate his dedication to teaching and highly recommend him as an instructor — especially for anyone who may feel nervous or unsure. Thank you again!
the future, I learned a lot from him His name is Scott thank you for him and for the Red Cross in Etobicoke I appreciate it .
One challenge I encountered was accessing the building; I was accidentally locked out on two occasions, which caused some inconvenience. Improving entry instructions or access support could enhance the overall experience.
Despite that, I truly appreciated the quality of instruction and the collaborative atmosphere. I would recommend the course to others seeking a dynamic and immersive learning experience.
I would like to sincerely thank Coast2Coast for the amazing First Aid and CPR course I completed on July 5, 2025. The course was well-organized and very informative.
A special thanks to Mr. Joseph, our instructor, who was very talented, clear, and easy to understand. He made both the theory and practical parts of the training very engaging.
The training hall was clean, spacious, and comfortable—not hot at all despite the size—which helped us focus and enjoy the session fully.
I truly learned a lot and feel more confident now in emergency situations. I’m excited to share this experience with my family and friends and encourage them to take this important course.
