Yesterday saw me back in the classroom giving a CPR / defibrillator training course to six fabulous nurses in a nursing home. The last time I was in the same nursing home teaching the very same course, a few hours later the staff were putting into practice the skills that they had learnt earlier that morning for real when a resident collapsed and went into cardiac arrest. The swift actions by the staff and the quality of the CPR with the aid of the defibrillator (3 shocks given) manged to obtain a return of spontaneous circulation ( ROSC) and was alive when the National Ambulance Service crews arrived on scene.

Just goes to show the importance of knowing CPR because you never know when the life saving skills could be required.

Well done to everyone involved and it was great to catch up with ye again.👏
