Description
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Training is a vital and nationally recognised course designed to equip participants with the fundamental skills and knowledge needed to perform effective CPR interventions. This comprehensive training program adheres to the latest guidelines established by the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and ensures participants are prepared to respond confidently in emergency situations.
Throughout this course, participants will acquire a solid understanding of the key principles of CPR, enabling them to perform chest compressions, provide rescue breaths, and utilize automated external defibrillators (AEDs) with precision. This hands-on training is invaluable for individuals seeking to enhance their ability to respond promptly and effectively to cardiac arrest scenarios in various settings, including homes, workplaces, and public spaces.
Key Course Highlights:
- Thorough exploration of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) guidelines as outlined by the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC).
- Practical training in performing CPR techniques, including chest compressions, rescue breaths, and AED usage.
- Detailed instruction on recognising cardiac arrest and responding appropriately to sudden medical emergencies.
- Realistic simulations and scenario-based learning to apply CPR skills effectively.
- Insights into the legal and ethical considerations related to CPR administration.
Duration
