First Aid training from Norfolk to the West Midlands
An account from one of our trainers:
I quite often say first aid isn’t all about jumping up and down on someone’s chest, it’s a lot more than that. CPR is only used when everything else has failed and the person stops breathing.
.
While attending an ice hockey match in Wales at the weekend. A player on the ice had a cardiac arrest. Another player and myself proceeded with CPR on the casualty. An AED was used, and after 10 minutes the casualty took a breath and opened his eyes. He has since had an operation and is now recovering.
I feel particularly pleased as CPR is not usually successful. This is one of those occasions that it did work. I’m not looking for accolades or a pat on the back. Just wanted to let you know that despite not being active, the knowledge that we have as trainers and given to others, can save a life. If it is just one life we help save, it is all worth it.
The casualty’s wife posted on social media “Thank you to all that helped, I still have a husband, and my children still have a daddy, Thank you”.
