HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Cardiac arrest is a medical emergency that can lead to death. With urgent medical care to restore a normal rhythm, survival is possible.
Quick decision making is required to recognise and assess a cardiac emergency, use an AED, call for medical assistance and perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) procedures which will increase the chance of survival for a person who is unconscious and not breathing normally.
In this CPR course, you will learn these skills, in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines, including using an automated external defibrillator (AED), how to rotate first aiders with minimal interruptions to compressions, and what to do if the casualty regurgitates or vomits.
The course also covers conveying accurate incident details when handing the casualty over to emergency services, how to review an incident, to recognise any psychological impacts on yourself and other rescuers, to seek help if required and for improvement of your own personal skills and response times.
