FiT Work 18: First Aid and CPR

FiT Work #18 First Aid and CPR - Due @ End of Period

Knowing how to administer basic first aid and how to perform cardiopulmonary respiration (CPR) can literally save a life! But before entering into an emergency situation make sure you will not be in any danger ... remember you are there to help, not become a victim yourself.

Once you know the area around a victim is safe there are general rules that should be followed as most injuries must be treated very quickly. To watch a video about basic first aid for emergencies such as head injury, nose bleed, heat stroke, choking, allergies, burns, bleeding, and unconsciousness.click this link.

The two problems associated with someone having a heart attack, or going into cardiac arrest, are a lack of breathing and no pulse or heart beat. When the proper techniques are used a heart attack victim's heart begins beating again in 60-80% of cases. To watch a video about Hands-Only CPR click this link.

Tired? We all know the feeling; irritated, groggy, and exceptionally lazy. Chances are you didn't get enough sleep last night, or maybe you haven't slept well for the past few nights. Sleep deprivation is a condition that we often overlook or purposely ignore. Sometimes our favorite T.V. shows, video games, or a late night study session can get in the way of a much needed, good night's rest.
