Could you save someone's life?

[tx_doc]

So I took this test and was disappointed in myself. It's been a few years since I took a CPR class. Guess what I'm going to be doing next weekend?

9 / 15 - not too bad since I last did first aid training over 20 years ago. I have tried to book myself on a first aid course recently, but St Johns and Red Cross seem to be very disorganised in this area.

12/15. I got the one about compressiosn wrong because it recently changed from 15 to 30, I thought vinegar was an acid and therefore would not neutralize the acidic venom in a jellyfish, and I had no idea about who chokes more.

I have ALS, ATLS and PALS Certification, that still doesn't guarantee being able to save someones life. Very, very rarely does CPR work - don't believe what you see on ER and Lost.

Look at www.resus.org.uk for the current UK Guidelines on approaching a resucitation situation and for the courses running in your area.

I got 9/15, but i think some of those answers are out of date. I'm pretty sure Ice on a Jellyfish sting is more effective than vinegar.

The most effective treatment for jellyfish stings is:

* Adhesive tape to remove any tentacles stuck on the victim.
* Immersion of the affected area into hot (40 - 50 C) water to denature the enzymes.
* Analgesia and antihistamine creams.

 

[Pyramus11]

I got 11/15.

8 out of 15.

I got my first aid certificate about 3 months ago... its good to see the information stuck.

I believe they also removed the breaths for civilians because it's the hesitance to do the breaths that wastes valuable seconds that could save someone's life.

 

[cisco_teen]

11/15 for the first aid one, i missed the compressions, the one with the choking people, and apparently 2 others. haha, but i got a 9/10 on the EMS one.

 

[Brijan]

10/15; isn't too bad.

 

[mojoe54]

I got 9/15-- but I have to admit I guessed at some of the answers...

 

[Soliloco]
