Here are the details on the First Aid & CPR training. Dates are February 12th and 13th. On Saturday the 12th, starting at 3pm in the afternoon I will start the CPR training. Sorry it can't be eariler but I have a class that does not get out until 2 pm. I would like to go until 6 pm, we can go later if that is the concenus of tlhe group. Sunday the 13th will be the CPR exam and the First Aid Training.
I will provide the manikins and other training aids. This is the AHA version (American Heart Association - Professional Rescuer). It will include Adult through infant CPR and AED use. Cards will be issued (yes there is a test). I'm happy to do this for the cost of the cards. Should be no more than $10 per person. Probably much less, we just switched who we purchased our cards from and I don't have an exact cost. I need to get a accurate count on the number of people who want the CPR training to arrange the correct number of cards and equipment. I would like to send out a short study guide prior to the begining of the class. This course will teach the most current version of CPR (there have been a lot of changes).
I'm asking people to ASVP by Monday February 2nd. Please include in your RSVP whether you are planning on taking only the CPR, only the First Aid or both.
The First Aid portion will cover treatment of injuries that can potentially kill the patient. We will cover the new thinking on bleeding control, treatment of shock, heat and cold related injuries, lighting and snake bite. I will have examples of all the latest militrary emergency medical equipment (that are appropriate). We will also discuss kit construction and legal issues surounding this topic. Last, we will cover some general comfort First Aid: would care, blister management, hydration, sun protect etc.
We discussed at the January meeting, that it might make the most sense if everyone chipped in $10 for drinks and lunch on Saturday. This will save a lot of time. If people arn't up for this another optiion is to bring your own food and drink. Please include in your ASVP how you want to deal with food.
The location is being worked out and as soon as I know I will post. If there is anything else you would like to see included or you need clarification on this post please feel free to message me.
