World First Aid Day

Posted on September 12, 2020 by Faisal Javed Mir

World First Aid Day is an annual opportunity to highlight the importance of first aid around the globe as an act of humanitarian empowerment and as a key component of a wider resilience approach; it is an occasion to reach a wider public audience and try to change the way the world thinks about first aid. September 12 is World First Aid Day for year 2020. It was instituted by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) in 2000 and has been celebrated each year ever since.

First aid training provides more than the knowledge and skills to effectively respond – it also provides the confidence to act when needed. First Aid to Save a Life offers a wide variety of first aid, basic life support and CPR training courses, empowering general public and professionals to act on, prevent, and manage life’s emergencies.

First aid does not necessarily require any prior knowledge and can involve improvisation. However, if the person performing first aid doesn’t know what they are doing, they might hurt instead of helping. That is why governments and all global organizations encourage people to undergo basic first aid training or at least educate themselves using any available reliable sources.

Recent polling by the Red Cross shows that nearly 40 per cent of people say they have been in an emergency situation where they have had to perform first aid; however, only 18 per cent are currently certified. This World First Aid Day, FATSAL is calling on all Pakistanis and global citizens to ensure they have the skills needed to save lives when an emergency happens.

Millions of people are hurt or killed by injuries every year due to inadequate response or lack of timely assistance. Taking immediate action and applying the appropriate techniques, while waiting for professional help, can considerably reduce deaths and injuries, and the impact of disasters and everyday emergencies. First aid is not a replacement for emergency services. It is a vital initial step for providing effective and swift action that helps to reduce serious injuries and improve the chances of survival.

Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death for the ages of 1 and 44. Having the skills to act immediately in an emergency situation can help save lives and reduce the impact of injury, but the knowledge also helps prevent injuries in the first place.

Have you completed the first aid course? Sign-up one of our upcoming courses to learn key first aid skills to SAVE LIVES.

Bystander CPR SAVING LIVES in Singapore

Posted on September 11, 2020 by Faisal Javed Mir

A new study published in The Lancet Public Health found that a series of public health interventions in Singapore cumulatively increased the likelihood of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by bystanders during out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) nearly eightfold and survival over threefold, underscoring the importance of such interventions to improve OHCA outcomes.

Sudden cardiac arrest is a serious healthcare concern all over the world. In the United States, over 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of a hospital annually, and about 90 percent of the victims die, according to 2015 statistics cited by the American Heart Association. In Singapore, a 2015 study found that about 70 percent of OHCA occurred at home and just over three percent of casualties survived to hospital discharge.

For a victim of sudden cardiac arrest in an out-of-hospital setting, CPR (performed by pushing hard and fast on the center of the chest) by a bystander could save their life. But in many communities around the world, the rate of bystander CPR is low, prompting some health authorities to initiate bystander-focused public health interventions at the community level to improve this.

The study by researchers at Duke-NUS Medical School (Singapore), Duke University (Durham, NC, USA), Singapore Health Services (SingHealth), the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and the Singapore Ministry of Health’s Unit for Prehospital Emergency Care (UPEC) found that three national public health interventions in the city-state increased the rate of bystander CPR more than twofold. These measures included 1) dispatch-assisted CPR, 2) CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) training, and 3) a first responder mobile application, known as myResponder, which alerts volunteer first responders trained in CPR to give life-saving assistance when they are in close proximity to someone experiencing cardiac arrest, before paramedics arrive on the scene.

In the nationally gathered datasets that were analyzed in this research, it was seen that, in general, bystander CPR was administered in nearly half (48 percent) of OHCA events. With the implementation of dispatch-assisted CPR, the likelihood of bystander CPR increased. Additional implementation of CPR and AED training further increased the likelihood of bystander CPR. Finally, the addition of the myResponder mobile application to the intervention strategies resulted in nearly eight times increased likelihood of bystander CPR compared to no intervention.

In this population, when all three measures were adopted, the likelihood of survival increased more than threefold, compared to no intervention. Variations were seen in the predicted bystander CPR probability and survival rate after adopting each of these measures for residential versus non-residential settings.

“Understanding the impact of public health interventions helps inform strategies to increase bystander CPR and targeted initiatives to improve survival from OHCA,” said Prof Marcus Ong, senior author of the study, who is Director of the Health Services and Systems Research Programme at Duke-NUS Medical School, and Senior Consultant at the Department of Emergency Medicine in Singapore General Hospital. “Importantly, our findings show that the increased likelihood of bystander CPR resulting from the bundled interventions was associated with increased survival.“

Prof Ong, who is also Director of SingHealth’s Health Services Research Centre, and Medical Director of UPEC and Senior Consultant at the Ministry of Health, Hospital Services Division, added, “Over the last 10 years, we have been advocating for the immediate application of chest compressions and the use of an AED during an OHCA. Patients stand a much better chance – up to 50 percent – of survival if those interventions are performed. Studies like this allow us to enhance our public health systems and save more lives in the process.”

CPR hand placement for children and infants

Posted on September 10, 2020 by Faisal Javed Mir

CPR hand placement for children and infants

While the overall goal of compressions is the same, there are a few key differences to note when performing CPR on a child or infant.

For children age 1 year to puberty, continue to position your hands in the center of the chest between the nipples. Use 1 or 2 hands for compressions, depending on the size of the child. If you become fatigued during compressions, use both hands to ensure you continue to reach the desired depth (about 2 inches or 1/3 the depth of the child’s chest).

For children younger than 1 year, position 2 fingers in the center of the chest just below the nipple line. An infant’s body is much smaller, so you only need to use 2 fingers for compressions instead of your hands. Aim for a compression depth about 1.5 inches or 1/3 the depth of the child’s chest.

Contact us to practice your compression technique and get certified in CPR, AED and First Aid.

How to position you hands for adult CPR

Posted on September 9, 2020 by Faisal Javed Mir

CPR can help keep the brain and other vital organs alive during cardiac arrest by pushing oxygen-filled blood throughout the body. High-quality chest compressions are the most important part of CPR and have the biggest impact on survival of cardiac arrest.

So, it’s crucial that you practice proper hand placement when performing chest compressions.

CPR hand placement for adults

For adults, position your hands over the lower half of the sternum. Follow these chest compression steps to ensure you are positioned correctly:

Place the heel of one hand on the center (middle) of the victim’s chest (which is the lower half of the sternum).
Place the heel of the other hand directly on top of the first.
Lift or interlace your fingers.
Position your shoulders directly over your hands.
Keep your arms straight.
Push straight down (aim for a compression depth of at least 2 inches).

Allow the chest to fully rise between compressions. And avoid lifting your hands completely off the chest.

Push hard and fast until you see obvious signs of life or until EMS arrives and takes over.

Contact us to practice your compression technique and get certified in CPR, AED and First Aid.
