Today, I learned a skill I hope I never have to use but one I’m truly grateful to have learned .

I had the opportunity to attend a Basic First Aid training where I learned how to first of all assess an emergency, ensure the scene is safe, check for danger, response, airway, breathing, and circulation,
Perform CPR using 30 chest compression and 2 resce breaths, and provide first aid in situations such as snake bites, fainting, drowning, burns, choking, and other common emergencies.

The experience today reminded me that first aid is not just for doctors or healthcare professionals.
It’s a life skill that every one of us should have because in an emergency, the first few minutes can make all the difference.

You never know when someone might need your help. Learning these skills today could mean saving a life tomorrow.

CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is an emergency life-saving technique used when a person’s heart has stopped beating or they have stopped breathing normally.

The goal of CPR is to keep oxygen-rich blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until professional medical help arrives or the heart starts beating again.

It has two main components:

* Chest compressions: Push hard and fast in the center of the chest to manually pump blood through the body. Adults should receive compressions at a rate of 100–120 compressions per minute, pressing about 5–6 cm (2–2.4 inches) deep and allowing the chest to fully recoil after each compression.
* Rescue breaths: Give 2 breaths after every 30 chest compressions if you are trained and willing to do so. The breaths provide oxygen to the lungs.

When should CPR be started?

* The person is unresponsive.
* They are not breathing or are only gasping.
* You have called for emergency medical help (or someone else has).

Remember the basic steps:

1. Ensure the scene is safe.
2. Check for responsiveness.
3. Call emergency services or ask someone to do so.
4. Check breathing.
5. Begin CPR immediately if the person is not breathing normally.
6. Continue until the person shows signs of life, an AED is available and can be used, or trained medical personnel take over.

Early CPR can double or even tr
