First Aid for Cardiac Arrest in Schools

Teams may encounter someone in cardiac arrest with little warning, so practical first aid training can help staff respond with greater confidence. For school staff, this long-tail topic is best matched to ABC Training Services’ Automated External Defibrillation course. ABC Training Services’ Automated External Defibrillation course covers the primary survey, CPR, unconscious casualty management, chest pain including angina, cardiac arrest, the chain of survival, use of an AED and casualty handover. The practical approach helps learners understand what to look for, how to act safely and when to escalate the situation to the emergency services.
