We closed off with Grant
Stewart – from ER24. We were talking about CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
CPR is an emergency procedure performed if someone has stopped breathing or
whose heart has stopped and this week is the CPR week, so Grant explained more
about the role of a lay rescuer/first-aider. For more information on CPR go to your nearest health care centre or call
10177 in case of an emergency. ER24 recommends the following basic steps
such as CHECK, CALL and CARE when arriving at a scene and finding an emergency situation. The best
way to learn CPR is to attend a CPR class presented by an accredited medical
institution or emergency response provider because it’s a skill both to be
learnt, practiced and regularly updated. For further information you can
contact ER24 Training Academy on 0861 084 124 or send an email to training@er24.co.za
