St John Ambulance doing free CRP training at Bunnings

The inaugural St John Ambulance national Drive-a-thon hit Tamworth on Friday, November 29, 2024.

Transcript

00:00Yeah, so we're here as part of the St John National Drive-a-Thon.

00:08We're driving across all of Australia.

00:11We're training 5,000 people in CPR.

00:14We've been donating defibrillators in communities in need and raising awareness of the importance

00:20of First Aid.

00:21So we just pull the bottom jaw down and have a look to make sure their airway is clear.

00:28If it's not, we will roll them into recovery and scoop that out.

00:31And then we're going to check for breathing.

00:33So if they're not breathing, we go straight into CPR.

00:35So 30 compressions to two breaths.

00:42Okay.

00:43So you can put these on while the person is doing CPR.

00:49So what we do is we just clear for that moment, it analyses, and then we start back on CPR

00:56as soon as it tells us.

00:57So we've got a defib that we're actually going to donate this afternoon to the local

01:00Tamworth community.

01:01We're going to put it on the side of our St John Hall up there.

01:04So it's going to be available for the people above us, which is the croquet clock.

01:08It's also going to be available for the people in Anzac Park and anyone around these

01:12Tamworth areas.

01:21The last thing you want to do is have someone go down in front of you and you're standing

01:26there going, I don't know what to do.

01:28If nothing else comes out of today, if you remember to get down there and someone's not

01:33breathing and you get on that chest and pump that, and if you know there's a defib close

01:37by and you can get that on, we've done our work.
