Discussion Vascular access, along with airway management is a standard of emergency care, and is an essential part of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in many groups of patients. Peripheral vascular access is the most efficient means of gaining vascular access as it’s induces minimal trauma, is the safest method of gaining access to venous circulation. It may however be difficult in stressful situations and require several attempts despite its widespread usage failure may result in prehospital…

II. We never know when we will be in an emergency situation where someone will need our help. III. I have taken classes about CPR and am certified. IV. Hopefully, by the end you will be able to understand the basics of performing CPR. BODY I. First we have to learn the basics of CPR. A. Make sure the scene is safe and if someone is around have them call for help. B. Gently tap their shoulders and ask if they are okay. Check to see if they are breathing. You make sure they are on their back…

towards me and he has started verbally threatening me. Unfortunately I do not know what has triggered him to become aggressive this time so I do not know what I can do or remove from the situation to try and prevent him getting out of control. My first response is to try and talk to Jack in a calm voice to try and stop the situation going in a violent direction. I am talking to him calmly without raising my voice to try and get him to calm down and not get too over-worked and distressed.…

important that I have my hands in the right places. With the heels of my hand on their breast bone. If I want to be more precise, it would be two finger widths above the meeting area of the lower ribs. Then, I would place my second hand on top of the first, interlock my fingers. All while lining my body directly over the position of my hands. I then must keep my arms straight and use all my upper body strength as firm pressure. In the meantime, I will do thirty chest compressions. A chest…

2006, I became the Game Master of Avalon, a live action, fantasy, role-playing game also known as a LARP. My then husband was stepping back from his presidency and it fell to me to keep our company afloat. As one of my new duties, I scheduled a first aid and CPR training at the local fire station for my staff members and I, because minor injuries were fairly common in our high-action game. Sitting in training, we melted into our seats. Our sandbag eyes and sandpaper tongues suffered from the…

summer employment. My Junior year of high school, I became CRP and First Aid Certified through the American Red Cross in a medical technical education program. In this class, we learned basic medical terminology and abbreviation. We were also able to shadow nurses, surgeons, and doctors all throughout the hospital (in-patient, out-patient, surgical, emergency, IRAD, cardiac, and phlebotomy). This class, along with the Red Cross Frist Aid and CPR certifications, helped me realize my passionate…

dies for the lack of CPR and First Aid training knowledge. How could this be? I mean most people have gone through many years of post-secondary education, but still so many lives are taken away. You go through all of your schooling, paying upwards of $100,000 but still no education on how to save an innocent person’s life. Shouldn’t everyone have the chance to be saved? People should not have to pay for CPR classes when they are older to learn the basic CPR and First Aid instructions. Recently,…

My organization, Camp Noah, is a resilience and preparedness day camp that serves elementary age children in communities that have been impacted by disaster and/or crisis. Our mission is to serve children who have been impacted by a traumatic event and/or experience in their own community by engaging and storytelling. The overall problem that our organization works to solve is the uprooting of normalcy and mental impact that the children are experiencing in the long-term recovery stage after a…

are thousands of people who are not able to receive first aid or healing before emergency responders arrive. What would have happened if a bystander had the first aid or CPR training? Just performing CPR or first aid can triple the victim’s chance of survival. CPR and first aid, not just to me, but to many others, should be a mandatory lesson that people should be taught. If you learn the basics, you can save a life. CPR and first aid could be something that not everyone understands, or…
