CPR

We all had a great time renewing our CPR certificates this week, We had a fire fighter Jason come in and spend an afternoon with us refreshing our memories on how to preform CPR in the correct way. It recently got changed to CAB ( Compression/Airway/Breathing). We went over what we had to do in different situations and for different age patients.

We also went over how to block an airway on a chocking victim. Got to practice our chest thrust as you never know when you will need to use them. I am glad to tell you that we all passed the test and are up to date on our certification.
