First Aid

On Wednesday Room 28 was very lucky to have Nikoli from St John come and teach us some First Aid skills. We had a very busy hour learning about and practicing new skills.

The first thing we learnt about was the Doctors ABC or DRSABC for those in the know ;) If we see someone in trouble that may need First Aid we need to do these things;

Danger – Look for things that may hurt you or your casualty

Response – Shout and Squeeze, does the casualty move or respond?

Send for Help – Get an adult or ring an ambulance

Airway – Use the Head Tilt, Chin Lift

Breathing – Look, Listen and Feel

Circulation – Use the R.E.D treatment for bleeding

We also had lots of hand on experiences practicing what to do if someone is unconscious, if someone has cut themselves, has a nose bleed and we also learnt how to tie a sling. Everyone got their own handbook to take home with all the information they need in it.
