Celebration! Hooray! today was the last day of taught lessons and lectures for the rest of the year!
YOUKATA NE~!
For those of you still struggling with lectures....Zannen desu ne!
hehe...but we do have a SSM ( Special Studies Module) when school reopens on the 18th of April (technically 19th since 18th is a national holiday!) but that's basiclaly project work and an oral presentation...
Haha...got into the SSM that I chose : Brain Power! hehe...so probably our area of research will be something to do with brain function and what affects it...
The most exciting and interesting topic as opposed to the other drab topics that were out for the picking like ....Reproductive medicine ( yucks...) Biochemical molecules ( *gags* ).... eew...
so anyway, here's another piece of good news to all of you out there ......
*drum roll....*
If you were to collapse on the street one day and i so happened to pass by,
I should be able to perform basic life support on you guys!
Hooray! Youkata ne~!
well basically i had a practical skills session this afternoon at forresterhill,
and it was on CPR.
SO basically we were thought how to check and perform rescur breaths and chest compressions
really fun...like ER stuff.
So it was all good and it was definitely the most enjoyable and educational practical skills
course that I've had throughout the entire duration of the term.
Here are the basics :
Shout for help
Ascertain safety (@ make sure that it's safe to approach victim. he might have been elctrocuted)
Free from danger ( move to safe area, if you can move him )
Evaluate conciousness (shout at the victim)
hehe...then
Airway ( do head tilt to open up airways )
Breathing ( wait 10 sec to see if person breathes) (followed by Rescue Breaths (x2) ( you get 5 tries to get 2 breaths that will actually cause the chest to rise)
Circulation (feel for 10 sec to see if there's a pulse) (check carotid pulse) and the Compressions ( if there's no circulation...try to get heart to work again)
Between B and C if there's no breathing and pulse and no one's around to help call for help, you just go ahead and call for help yourself. and then you start the rescue breaths and compressions once you're done.
hehe...in this country is the person who collapse has no pulse and is not breathing call for an ambulance straight away because he probably has a heart attack (ventricular fibrillation) and the only thing that's going to save him is a defbrillator. (gome...dun noe whether i spelt that right)
The only 3 incidents when you dun go running for the ambulance immediately after you've checked for breathing is when the person is a victim of.... DROWNING, TRAUMA or POISONING (include alcohol and overdose on pills) for those pple once no pulse or breathing is detected immediately start compressions and rescue breaths for 1.5 minutes.
sumimasen but i can't describe how to do rescue breaths or compressions in words...
and am too lazy to try....haha...wari ne..
yeah so that was my last day of school, going out for dinner tonight yay!
See ya!
Jaa ne~!
