CPR practice on this will make you ready for real life
Could YOU perform CPR right NOW?
If you had to could you perform CPR right now to save someones life could you….. when was the last time you did a CPR course?
Another near drowning
A mother finds her child floating face down in a backyard swimming pool….. it is a scenario that happens far too frequently throughout Australia.
It happened again Yesterday in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. Thankfully the mother remembered the CPR skills that she had been taught during a first aid course and the little girl was quickly revived and was conscious and acting normally by the time paramedics arrived, and the child was taken to hospital in a stable condition for observation. (the HeraldSun story on this near drowning)
What if
What if mum had not done a course? How much different could the scene that the paramedics confronted have been?
So I ask you again if you had to perform CPR right NOW, could you, honestly?
The sad reality is that only 1 in 10 Australians knows how to perform CPR.
That’s right one in ten, so if you collapse and stop breathing there is only a ten percent chance that the person who finds you will be armed with the skills to save your life, not very good odds are they?
Get some training
If you hesitated even for a split second in being able to answer the question about performing CPR… then I urge you to get some training
or, if you want to learn CPR in the comfort of your own home, and have a resource at hand to do regular refreshment training for you and the whole family……..
