💙 CPR – A Skill That Saves Lives 💙
From: 
🟢 When someone’s heart suddenly stops beating, every single second counts.
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is a simple, life-saving skill that keeps blood and oxygen flowing to the brain until emergency help arrives — and the amazing thing is anyone can learn it.
🟣 At Majella Forde Training Solutions, we specialise in teaching CPR in a way that is practical, simple, and confidence-building so that ordinary people can do extraordinary things.
🫀 What CPR Actually Means
C – Cardio (heart)
P – Pulmonary (lungs)
R – Resuscitation (bringing back)
CPR is a combination of chest compressions and, when needed, rescue breaths that help keep a person alive during cardiac arrest.
👊 How to Give Effective Chest Compressions
(General community guideline overview)
• Place your hands in the centre of the chest
• Keep your arms straight and use your body weight
• Push hard and fast at a rate of 100–120 compressions per minute
• Let the chest fully rise after each push
• Continue until a defibrillator arrives or emergency services take over
🔵 With proper training, these steps become natural and automatic — and they make a powerful difference.

⚡ Using an AED (Defibrillator) – It’s Easier Than You Think!
🟡 Modern AEDs talk you through every step the moment you switch them on.
They tell you:
• Where to place the pads
• When to step back
• When a shock is needed
• When to resume compressions
🟠 You don’t need medical experience.
You just need to be willing to help — the AED does the analysing and guiding.
