First Aid

In preparation for the year 6 camp at Camp Iona at Herbert.  We have been up-skilling our first aid knowledge.  Today we had a visit from Neville from the Red Cross.  We covered such things as:

  • D.R.S.A.B.C 

Danger
Response
Airway
Breathing
Circulation


  • Shock
  • Broken bones
  • Burns and scalds
  • Poisons
  • Applying bandages and slings
  • Choking
  • Recovery position 
The recovery position


Using the knee and the shoulder as pivot points rescuers are able to rotate patients even heavier and larger than themselves.
