First Aid with St John

This morning both classes completed a basic first aid course preparing us for camp. 

Paula was so engaging and shared lots of knowledge with us on how to keep ourselves and others safe.  

We learnt about - 

• Spains - (PRICED, P-protect, R-rest, I-ice, C-compression, E-elevate, D-diagnose)
• Breaks - Do not move the person and call 111
• Choking - Ask the person if they are choking. Deliver 3 blow to their back, if it does not dislodge call 111. Continue to try and dislodge the food. If they stop breathing start CPR.
• Allergies - How to use Epi-pens 
• Burns - Cool it down under cold running water for 20minutes, apply glad wrap. Go to the doctor if it is a large burn. 
• Bleeding - Apply pressure. Use any clean material. When putting on a bandage think 'happy snail'. 🐌 Pull the bandage tight and keep it flat. Raise the wound above their heart. Two finger test.   Pack, Wrap and Raise 
• Scenarios- How to deal with emergency scenarios that could affect us while we are on camp.
