Lecture summary 1

Title: First Aid (second) anita
Date: 8th may 2
Lecture: Dave Griffiths
Last week I heard Dave Griffiths give a lecture called First Aid . Dave is a First aid professional. During the lecture he showed the process of kiss of life and also taught in what situations we can give first aid. He pointed out 3 examples adults, children and babies.


When adults lose consciousness, firstly checks the person with nice voice see if the person can respond. If they still can’t wake up, try to open the air way. Softly put one hand on the forehead and use two fingers. Pull-up the chin slowly and feel the air with your ear. Secondly make sure to keep talking to the person with a soft voice and tell the person the processes of what is going to happen. Lastly, deliver a breath to the person’s mouth and look at the chest to see the movement. After doing that point out the person middle of chest and use two hands together to do CPR or heart massage.


The difference between children and adults is when giving CPR to child you only need to use one hand in the middle of the chest, because if using two hands together it may be possible to break the children’s rib. In some situation if a baby need to have heart massage you just need to put two fingers to do the CPR. CPR and first aid are the basic skill people need to learn to help anyone in danger.
