Basic First Aid (CPR etc)
- varjag 7y agoAmong 'etc' I would recommend Heimlich maneuver in particular. Didn't really ever expect to use it, but ended up doing it on my own kid…
- ddelt 7y agoI am alive today because someone close by me knew how to do this. I hope others never need to use it, but I hope everyone 'knows' how to use it.
- deanebarker 7y agoMe too. He was six at the time. A hard candy he took from a restaurant.
- kaybe 7y agoAlso have a look at the video on how to do it on yourself.
- ghaff 7y agoYes. Probably one of the best quick hits in first aid. By comparison, while CPR is good to know, it's probably only going to help in a fairly limited set of circumstances. One of my complaints about first aid courses that I've taken is that they seem to spend a lot of time on things like splinting and often skip lightly over stuff you're more likely to run into in everyday life.
- inetsee 7y agoI would consider CPR to be an invaluable thing to learn. Unfortunately, at least where I live (North Carolina, USA), there do not seem to be any free classes. Available classes range in price from $84 to $126 in price, depending on what's included in the class (basic CPR, basic plus pediatric CPR, CPR with other first aid instruction, etc.).
