Room 11 – People Savers Course
Throughout this week Team Toru has been learning how to save people. This is our experience.
We learned how to
· Help someone if they are choking
· Tie a sling
· How to place someone in the recover position
· How to treat a burn
· How to treat a bleeding arm
· How to help someone with a nose bleed
· How to check and help someone if they are unconscious
· Get help if someone (or a pet) takes poison – 0800 POISON (0800 764766)
One of the most important things we learned was the DRSABC.
D is for danger – check for danger before you help.
R is for response – shout and tap their shoulder to see if they are unconscious.
S is for send for help. Get someone to call 111.
A is for airways. Check if they are clear – tilt head and chin lift.
B is for breathing. Look, listen and feel.
C is for circulation. Think RED – rest & reassure, elevate & expose, direct pressure & dressing.
We learned lots today from Lou who helped us. We are hoping not to need to use our new knowledge but at least we are now prepared.
