❌ That is a Myth !

✅ FACT:
Agonal gasps are NOT normal breathing. They are a sign of cardiac arrest and mean the person urgently needs help.

What do agonal gasps look like?
• Gasping, snorting or gurgling sounds
• Long pauses between breaths
• Irregular, laboured attempts to breathe
These gasps can be misleading and often cause people to hesitate — but every second counts.

What should you do?
✔ Call 999 immediately
✔ Start CPR straight away
✔ Use a defibrillator (AED) if available

💡 Remember: If someone is unresponsive and not breathing NORMALLY, treat it as cardiac arrest — even if they appear to be gasping.

Knowing the difference can save a life.
Learn the signs. Learn the skills. Be ready to act.

💧⚡While water and electrics aren’t a great combination, AEDs are designed to be safe in these situations.

A few things to remember:
- Just make sure the skin where the pads go is quickly dried
- if the person is lying in a puddle, move them to a drier spot before you begin.

❤️ In a cardiac emergency, every second counts. Knowing how to perform CPR could make all the difference, and even if you’ve never been trained, you CAN still help!

A handy visual to remind you of the steps to effectively perform CPR on an adult.
1️⃣ Call 999 immediately
2️⃣ place two hands in the centre of their chest
3️⃣ push down hard and fast - 30 compressions
4️⃣ pushing down one third (5-6cm)
5️⃣ give two breaths
6️⃣ repeat

⚠ If you are dealing with a drowning victim, start with 5 breaths

🩺 Want to be fully prepared? Hands-on training is even better!
📆 Book a first aid course today and get confident in life-saving skills. You never know when it might be needed.

🩺 Would YOU know what to do in an emergency?

Will you step up, calm and confident? Or will your mind go blank, unsure of what to do?

The hands on training in First Aid training is like muscle memory—it gives you the skills, knowledge, and confidence to act when it matters most.

Don’t leave it to chance. Equip yourself with the tools to make a difference.

Aspirin is useful for more than just headaches!

In a heart attack, giving the casualty Aspirin to slowly chew, can help reduce further damage while you wait for emergency help.

What to do:
📞 Call 999 immediately
🪑 Sit them down (the W-position is ideal)
😌 Reassure them and help reduce stress
💊 Give Aspirin to chew if available & safe to do so

Knowing this simple step could save a life ❤️

Choking: What to Do – Quickly and Confidently

A simple rule to remember:
🔴 Loud & red? Let them cough ahead.
🔵 Silent & blue? They need help from you.

If someone can cough, they’re breathing — encourage them to keep coughing.
If they’re silent or struggling:

Adults & children over 1:
- Stand behind and slightly to the side
- Lean them forward and support their chest
- Give 5 sharp back blows
- If it doesn’t clear, give 5 abdominal thrusts (pull in and up)
- Repeat up to 5 of each
- Still choking? Call 999
- If they become unresponsive, begin CPR

Babies under 1:
- Lay them face-down along your thigh → 5 back blows
- Turn them face-up → 5 chest thrusts using two fingers

If the blockage remains, call 999 straight away
Once the object is removed, always have them checked by a medical professional.

👉 Please share — this knowledge can save lives.
👉 If you want to learn these skills properly, get in touch about our First Aid courses.
