Snakebite First Aid Management Training

Posted on February 18, 2013 by Faisal Javed Mir

Respected All,

Snakebite affects the lives of thousands of people every year; seriously injuring men, women and children of all ages, and claiming lives.

Remarkably snakebite is not a disease without a treatment, but sadly many hundreds of thousands of victims go untreated every year. Snake antivenoms, which were first developed in the 1890′s, offer the potential to save many, many lives, but high costs, poor availability, and in some cases, poor quality products produced by unscrupulous manufacturer’s have eroded confidence in antivenom immunotherapy, and many governments simply put the problem in the too-hard basket.

Snakebite present major challenges to companies working in rural and far remote areas. Snakes are remarkable animals, successful on land (on-shore) and sea (off-shore), forest, grassland, lakes, and desert. Companies are going in search of business and natural resources to quite and far remote areas (believe me they don’t follow snakes around their facilities) but the snakes do like their company so they can find something fresh and new to eat. We are scared of them and they too are scared of us but our quest of natural resources/reserves and their to food help us to find each other most often.

There are 4 types of poisonous snakes in Pakistan.

1) Common Cobra (Naja Naja)

2) Common Krait (Bungarus caeruleus)

3) Russell’s Viper (Lundi)

4) Saw Scaled Viper

Their venom is a combination of numerous substances with varying effects. In simple terms, these can be divided into 4 categories:

1) Cytotoxins: This causes local tissue damage.

2) Hematoxins: This causes internal bleeding.

3) Neurotoxins: This affects the nervous system.

4) Cardiotoxins: This type of venom affects directly on the heart and choking it to death within minutes.

Bites by venomous snakes result in a wide range of effects, from simple puncture wounds to life threatening illness and death.

First Aid to Save a Life (FATSAL) Pakistan is a training and consultancy organization led by training experts who provides a range of training programs to help companies and communities to control workplace emergencies, administer first aid, cpr, aed and help them set up EMS Systems in place to avoid losses. FATSAL Pakistan is best option for your training needs and is the first ever training company in Pakistan offering specialized training on Snakebite Management.

First Aid to Save a Life (FATSAL) Pakistan is pleased to announce a specialized Snakebite Management Training to educate the public on how to avoid these encounters, correct first aid procedures and up to date treatment of snakebite to help save lives.

Next Session – March 11, 2013 in Lahore

FATSAL can help organizations plan a campaigning about the proper first aid training for snakebite cases to improve the awareness level of workers, responders, and emergency teams.

First Aid Statistics – Are you prepared?

Posted on January 12, 2013 by Faisal Javed Mir

Respected All,

Safe practices at work, home, and play can prevent many injuries, illnesses, and deaths. Once injury or sudden illness has occurred, effective first aid can be the difference between a rapid or prolonged recovery, a temporary or permanent disability, and even life or death. If that isn’t motivation enough to make sure that you, your family members and/or your employees are first aid and CPR/AED trained, wait until you read the statistics.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, defines first aid as “emergency care provided for injury or sudden illness before professional emergency medical treatment becomes available.”

The statistics for workplace and home injuries and deaths are alarming.

* An incident can happen anywhere and to anyone.

Statistics:

At work, injuries and illnesses kill about 2.2 million people in the world each year.
Unintentional injury is the leading cause of death in the U.S. for individuals younger than 44 years of age.
On average, 15 workers die each day in the U.S. from traumatic injuries.
More than 4 million workers suffer a nonfatal injury or illness each year.
In the U.S. about 1/3 of all injuries occur at home.
In the U.S. about 20% of injury deaths occur at home.
For every home injury death there are about 650 nonfatal home injuries.

Having someone in your workplace or at home that is trained in first aid to deliver initial emergency procedures until EMS arrives can be the difference between life and death. Are you, someone from your family and/or your employees ready to respond in an emergency?

First Aid to Save a Life (FATSAL) Pakistan Instructors are ready to help you. You can find a class in Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi, Sialkot, Peshawar and Multan, or can arrange an in-house session for your community or at your workplace.

Get trained and be prepared for an emergency.

Online First Aid and CPR Certifications; Unacceptable?

Posted on December 13, 2012 by Faisal Javed Mir

Respected All,

As the number of fraudulent “instant online-only” certification scams continues to grow, this misunderstanding is nearly certain to recur. As a result, we have to write on this issue; please take a few moments to read them through and then distribute as you wish. REMEMBER, there is a clear difference between blended and online certifications. Blended trainings does not represent completely online training or training without hands-on skill practice and assessment by a qualified instructor, some part of the training in computer based online but dies require online exam and then hands-on skill practice and assessment in front of qualified instructor to attain legitimate certification.

First Aid to Save a Life Pakistan recommends such practices for informal learning, to create awareness, to engage students in practicing more and more; to encourage them while online practices on low risks involved if you do hands-only CPR etc. But First Aid to Save a Life Pakistan is not in favor of online First Aid and CPR class and then certifies and issue certificates to participants as it is not recommended by American Heart Association. We at First Aid to Save a Life Pakistan have clear understanding of the matter and have given our words and commitment in our “Practical Skills and CPR Training” policy. Below are some of the extracts from our policy document on this issue.

“It is the policy of First Aid to Save a Life Pakistan that CPR learning curriculum’s which ignore the importance of associated physical skills practice are not adequate to meet the reasonable performance measure and should be avoided. ………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………..

Henceforth, First Aid to Save a Life Pakistan will not issue a certificate to those participants who have completed only theory part of any training course and have not participated in practical skills necessary to achieve reasonable outcome.”

First Aid to Save a Life Pakistan also offers blended training courses but there is mandatory requirement that every student have to appear for practical (physical) skill assessment before authorized instructor and will get completion certificate only if he demonstrates correct use of life saving skills. Instructor will also allow them time and chances to clear their misunderstandings and re-appear there required to do so.

With this we would like to quote here the extracts from American Heart Association’s latest guidelines released in October, 2010.

“Methods to improve bystanders willingness to perform CPR include formal training in CPR techniques, including compression-only (Hands-Only) CPR for those who may be unwilling or unable to perform conventional CPR; educating providers on the low risk of acquiring an infection by performing CPR; and specific training directed at helping providers overcome fear or panic when faced with a actual cardiac arrest victim.”

American Heart Association further states in the below paragraph about the role of EMS in an emergency situation and transfer of instruction to untrained bystanders which unfortunately some of the training providers misunderstood and claiming that there is no harm in online CPR training classes which we and most of other training providers did not see in below paragraph.

“EMS should provide dispatcher instruction over the telephone to help bystanders recognize victims of cardiac arrest, including victims who may still be gasping, and to encourage bystander to provide CPR if arrest is likely. Dispatchers may also instruct untrained bystanders in the performance of compression-only (Hands-Only) CPR.”

With above AHA also stated in their same document, “BLS skills can be learned equally well with practice while watching (video-based) training as through longer, traditional instructor-led courses”.

Along with above AHA also recommends, “BLS courses should include periodic assessment of rescuer knowledge and skills with reinforcement provided as needed”.

Now how one can pass on reinforcement feedback when two (trainee and instructor) of them are not present at one scene? How one can go for periodic assessment sessions? Etc.

First Aid to Save a Life Pakistan wanted to clear misunderstanding in Pakistan on this issue and have posted this to answer all the misconceptions with references from latest guidelines released by AHA in October 2010.

We will look forward to you for your words on online CPR class vs traditional CPR class and appreciate if you positively take part in our upcoming survey on this subject.

How an internee should plan his course?

Posted on December 13, 2012 by Faisal Javed Mir

Respected All,

We often come up to situations where we regret why I decided to participate in this training session or even we analyze that this training didn’t proved to be worth for me. But very less often we prepare ourselves before the upcoming training session for ideas, questions and sketch our plan how to go for course and setting an objective to meet after this training.

Today, we will look into this that how someone can chalk his pre-training plan and focus to be an effective participant who ends in great learning session.

Do you have any question(s)?

No. Why not? How come you are coming to attend a training session and you don’t have any question in mind? Your surely have but you didn’t consider it worth to write it before going to class you don’t miss it during the class. So often participant don’t write their question well before the training session and think they can get maximum from the session because they think they are very attentive and nobody can be 100% attentive during the whole session. I am not wrong it is proved with the help of independent research studies that people often lost attentiveness and their conscious mind if they listen or see something (someone) for longer than 3 minutes. Hence, we may lost what we want to ask so why not to write the questions in your mind before going to real training.

Do you listen carefully?

Try hard to get the other persons point of view. Don’t accept ideas which seem unsound but remember: on almost every question there are several points of view. So be patience, listen carefully and learn from the experiences of other participants as well.

Don’t monopolize. Do you?

Don’t speak for more than 1 to 2 minutes or so at a time. Make your point in a few words, then give someone else a chance. Don’t make a speech as others may involve into longer discussion and main topic is left behind (a good trainer or instructor will never let this happen).

Don’t shy and why now when you have already decided once to learn/practice!

Don’t let yourself discourage from asking questions. If you didn’t understand, say so. Ask questions and remember: “my strength is made perfect in weakness.”

Disagree but in a friendly manner.

If you didn’t like any idea or comment or thinking of trainer or any other participants from class then it is good to say so but in a friendly manner. Avoid win-loss contests as I have heard that “attitudes are contagious” and you don’t want to be everyone in the class to be in a same role so disagree in a friendly manner.

“If you don’t like something change it; if you can’t change it, change the way you think about it”.

Being a volunteer student is much of learning experience.

If there is a need of volunteer in class for demonstration of any technique then you should be the first to grab the opportunity. It could be very good learning experience. Give yourself more and more chances to learn directly from the instructor.

How you plan for lunch session during trainings?

Are you one of those who take care of public relations more than their lunch? If not then it is really good but eat wisely as the session after the lunch may be very sleepy or difficult to pay attention on lectures. Now it is the time to change your seat, make new neighbors and change the seating position as well as angle. Tell this to instructor of class before doing this and tell him the reason.

When this training session will end?

The training session will only end for you when you ask yourself, “what I have learnt and how much I have contributed in the course?” Now if you are satisfied with the answer of your question and your colleagues can notice the change then you can, you can’t relax as you have to share your experience with them, but you consider yourself a winner.

In the end remember only one thing before going to any training session, “failure to plan is planning to fail”.
