CPR class #3

High quality chest compressions are the most important part of CPR. They help keep the brain and other vital organs alive by pushing oxygen filled blood throughout the body.

Remember 30 to 2.
30 compressions at a rate of 100 compressions a min. After 30 compressions deliver 2 breaths if you have a barrier. If you do not have a breathing barrier, continous compressions are a must!

What to do for someone experiencing a seizure.

Seizures can be scary but for some it is something they experience every day. So how do you care for a seizure?

1.) If someone says they are about to have a seizure, help them lie down.

2.) Move nearby furniture or objects away from the patient so they do not injure themselves during the seizure.

3.) If safe to do so, place something small and soft under the head. During a seizure a person cannot control their body and placing something soft under their head protects them from further injury.

4.) Call 911 if the person is unresponsive after the seizure, potential head or neck injury, seizure is their first one or lasts more than 5 mins, or if they're diabetic it pregnant.

DO NOT restrain the person or put anything in the person's mouth. Seizures are common in children under the age of 2 due to a rapid increase in temperature. These seizures are called "febrile seizures".

What to do if you're pepper sprayed?

With protests happening around the US, many have seen the police use pepper spray to disperse demonstrators/protestors. I have been pepper sprayed before and it was an awful experience.

So what do you do if you've been pepper sprayed?

Leave the area, flush your eyes with WATER, remain calm, shower.

1.) Leave the area immediately. Pepper spray will effect your vision and you will want to get to a safe area for treatment.

2.) Flush your eyes and face with WATER...only WATER. If you experience pepper spray during a protest bring several large water bottles with you and poke a small hole in the cap to create a makeshift spray bottle. Try your best to not rinse above the eyes or you'll experience the pepper spray all over again. If theres pepper spray on your forehead and you spray your forehead with water, the water will go down your face possibly into your eyes with the pepper spray.

3.) Remain calm. Pepper spray will definitely effect your vision but could also effect your breathing. Try your best to remain calm and breathe.

4.) Rinse with soap and water/Shower but be careful. As mentioned before, the water will carry the pepper spray to other areas. I recommend wearing a swimsuit in the shower to protect yourself from experiencing a burning sensation in sensitive areas.
