CLASS

  

#GVIfans

 

So we started the week with a lecture on mammals which covered the basics of class, and then went into diet and bone structures.

 

Later that week we covered a full CPR course starting off with chest compressions on a dummy and then moved onto a mock scenario within our groups. In these scenarios we practised log rolls with keeping the head supported properly in case of a spinal injury. We also practised a full scene of walking into the situation introducing who you are, checking if the person on the ground is breathing, calling for emergency help, rolling them if they are front down and completing CPR until the emergency team arrive.

 

We then had a break and finished up the day with virtual scenario with staff members on base acting. 3 of us walked outside and there was chaos. We had a couple of tipsy people that had been having a good weekend and 1 had a snake bite. I was asked to focus on the snake bite by my group partners. We also came across an unconscious person that had fallen so the other two started CPR. The other tipsy person ended up blacking out and choking on vomit so we had a death on our hands. WHOOPS, luckily she resurrected just in time for lunch.
