St John Reponse

On Monday a girl called Catherine came from St John's to show us our to save
someone life. We had to do this because with the William Pike Challenge Room

1 is doing this year anything would happen to us while we are doing like a bike

ride or tramp. She taught us the DRSABCD.

That stands for Dangers, Response, Send for Help, Airway, Breathing, Commence,
Defibrillation. These are the 7 things that can save someone’s life. Dangers is if

you find someone that had fallen off a ladder you have to check for the dangers.
Response is when you have to check for a response like “can you hear me?”. Send
For Help is when you can  dial 111 and get the ambulance. Airway is when you

have to tilt the head back and life the chin so it is easier for the person to breathe.
Breathing is when you have to look, listen and feel for normal breathing.

Commence is when you place your hands in the centre of the chest and push

down hard and fast 30 times then blow in the mouth 2 times.

Catherine then taught us the recovery position. The recovery position is when

you grab the hand of the patient closest to you and put it our of the way then

grab the arm furthest away from you and put it over their chest. Then grab the

knee furthest away from you and bend it up and you have to place your finger

on there knee and roll them over. You then have to tilt the head and lift the chin.

We had to do this in peers my peer was Hannah.

We then did CPR on a fake dummy. We had to do this in groups of eight in my
group there was me , Hannah, Rebekah, Caitlyn, Zoe, Poppy, Grace and Nyah.

We had to all grab wet wipes and wipe the dummy's mouth, chin and nose

because other people used them as well and we put some type of thin cloth on

the dummy's mouth. We all had a dummy each and we had to do 30 hard pushes

on the dummy’s chest like if we were doing real CPR then after that we had to do

2 breathes in the mouth.  

After that the whole of Room 1 went through the first one and after the first set

you keep moving around all eight of the dummy’s.

I really enjoyed this session with Catherine on how you can save someone’s life

and I had a rough Idea on how to do this but not fully knew how to do it.
