Life Saving Skills You Can Learn First Aid Training

First aid training can supply you with potentially life-saving skills. You could be the difference that helps to keep someone alive until the emergency services arrive.

Take a look below at some basic life saving first aid techniques that you can learn through training with 3B.

How To Administer CPR & AED

Life saving first aid coursesIf you find a casualty, who has collapsed and has stopped (or has irregular) breathing, you will need to administer CPR. Basic CRP and AED is part of the course content of almost all of our First Aid Courses. The Emergency First Aid, First Aid at Work & First Aid Requalification will all teach you how to preserve life through CPR on a casualty.

The Paediatric First Aid course will specifically cover how to conduct CPR on a baby or child (this is also briefly covered in the above courses).  We also provide a course specifically on how to use the AED defibrillator.

A casualty may become unresponsive in various ways, such as from cardiac arrest, a seizure or shock, to name a few. Therefore, CPR is an essential life-saving skill to have.

Treating Heavy or Catastrophic Bleeding

First Aid TrainingIf someone is bleeding heavily, you must act on this before losing a fatal amount of blood. The First Aid at WorkFirst Aid Requalification &  Emergency First Aid courses will teach you how to respond to this. You will learn how to apply pressure to a wound effectively to slow the bleeding.

How To Save Someone Who Is Choking

Life saving trainingThe above first aid courses will not just teach you how to save someone who is choking but recognise the signs in the first place so that you can act quickly. First aid training can teach you life-saving skills such as; the Heimlich manoeuvere (or abdominal thrusts) and correctly applying a back blow.

Treating a Burn

First Aid at WorkBy treating a burn correctly, you can save yourself or another person from further pain or scarring. The First Aid RequalificationEmergency First Aid & First Aid at Work will teach you how to deal with minor and more severe burns. Although the Paediatric First Aid course covers how to treat burns on babies and children, you should seek medical attention no matter how serious.

Treating Mental Health Issues

Mental Health First AidMental health problems can be equally dangerous to a person than physical ill-health. By becoming a mental health first aider, you will gain skills that could be potentially life-saving. The Mental Health First Aid course will teach you how to protect those who are at harm to themselves and guide them to the relevant support.
