    I just completed a freediving course and it was suggested to complete a first aid course…..this is perfect, until I can get work to get me into one (for office and site safety)

      You may need to do actual senior first aid course if it is a requirement for your job or hobby.

    I completed my first aid course 3 months ago. A lot of the stuff taught is just common sense.

      Which parts? If I'd never seen a movie/TV show with CPR I wouldn't have any sense (common or not) to just start pounding on there chests to the beat of Stayin' Alive

        If you watch in movies they use bent arms to avoid accidentally changing the very much healthy person’s heart rhythm.

        To do it for real, you should be using fairly straight arms and enough strength on an adult that you could accidentally break a rib.

        Anyone with more recent knowledge feel free to correct me.

          Indeed. Movies say to shock a flatlining patient. TV says you can give birth through a swimsuit (thanks Baywatch). So many examples out there. Doing a real first aid course is to undo all the teachings one gets from the entertainment world.

          If you break a rib, you're probably doing it right.

      • deva5610 on 31/08/2023 - 15:36

        Another one bites the dust is another good beat to use. Slightly morbid though.

        If you feel like annoying everyone in the vicinity - baby shark also works.

        But there's still a load of people with uncommon sense.

    • nobro25 on 03/03/2022 - 17:20

      Okay then. Without looking it up, what does D.R.S.A.B.C.D stand for? And why here in Australia we do 2 mouth to mouth for every 30 chest compressions and the US doesn't. Also what are the odds of survival by doing standard CPR compared to Defibrillation?

      • WhyAmICommenting on 03/03/2022 - 17:37

        Danger, Response, Something else, Airway, Breathing, Compressions, Don’t remember.

        Close enough?

          “Doctor what do you prescribe?”

          “Oh just a short run of valium and ahhhh something else “

        • [Deactivated] on 03/03/2022 - 19:04

          close enough isn't good enough

      • buckster on 03/03/2022 - 19:51

        The S stands for send for help which is arguably one of the most important things you could do…

        Edit: meant to reply to spillmill

        And the no breaths thing is because people in the US are too scared to perform it if they need to make contact

        • WhyAmICommenting on 03/03/2022 - 20:43

          Well, dialing 000 myself or asking someone else to would be pretty high on my list in an emergency.

            @WhyAmICommenting: Slightly panicking people don’t always think critically though. The point of an easily recalled acronym is to guide your action steps when the stress of the moment is actively trying to distract you. Knowing that there are predefined steps to adhere to adds to your ability to remain calm in the situation.

              @blerk: In a panicked moment, I'm not going to remember D.R.S.A.B.C.D, let alone what it stands for.
              Whoever came up with this, has forgotten why we use words like REACT or SAFE mnemonics to remember the steps involved.

              • B Didds on 31/08/2023 - 14:21

                @Magpye: Sorry but that in my experience is incorrect.

                As someone who has had to administer CPR (on my own father) in an emergency situation, I absolutely remembered what DRABC (as it was back then) stood for.

                • Magpye on 01/09/2023 - 09:09

                  @B Didds: That's a really great outcome. Glad to hear it worked in your situation.
                  Just not sure why you're using your experience to tell me why mine is incorrect.

                  • B Didds on 04/09/2023 - 11:02

                    @Magpye: Yours is an assumption, not a lived experience. I'm not saying you're definitively wrong, I'm saying don't assume that the knowledge given is unhelpful.

                    • Magpye on 04/09/2023 - 18:11

                      @B Didds: Actually, it's a well known fact, as mnemonics have been used for centuries, for good reason. And to be clear, I was stating it wouldn't be useful to me.

                      If however, you're confidently asserting that I will be able to remember D.R.S.A.B.C.D at a time of crisis, not only do we have an ironic loop of assumptions, but given I can't remember what I had for breakfast last week, I'm pretty comfortable with my original statement.

                      For what it's worth, I can remember cigarette ads from the 1970's. So, probably not the best person to assist you in a time of need, unless you have a dying wish to hear about Pure Silk Menthol.

                      • B Didds on 06/09/2023 - 10:26

                        @Magpye: I'm not confidently asserting that you will be able to remember, I'm saying it was useful to me in an emergency, and I believe there's a high chance it would be useful to you in an emergency - especially after this little interaction!

        • jasonb on 03/03/2022 - 23:05

          Nope.

          ANZCOR (Australia and New Zealand Council on Resuscitation) recommend rescue breaths are taught here because of the prevalence of drowning. It's not as much of a thing in other places.

          Whether or not breaths are useful depends on a lot of factors, but the biggest is the reason why someone went into cardiac arrest. If it's primarily a lack of oxygen, rescue breaths good. A heart issue, not so much.

          But for what for most people is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of event having to do CPR, in obviously a high stress situation, we keep it simple and teach one algorithm rather than trying to remember rules of which one to use.

          (But if you were wondering - possible drowning, or some other breathing issue, or a child - rescue breaths and chest compressions. Someone collapses in the street, chest compressions only)

        Defibrillation saves lives. CPR makes you feel like you did something.

    • mr fox on 03/03/2022 - 19:58

      I've attended around 50 cardiac arrests in the last decade and I've seen effective CPR being preformed at about three of them - so common sense and skill in the area is sadly lacking.

    • viper8548 on 03/03/2022 - 23:34

      i did the full course as part of employment requirement i agree it’s 90% common sense the other 10% is teaching you how properly use the equipment. Unfortunately i also slowly realise that what i find is common sense is not really common sense anymore

    This is not a first aid certification but more of an awareness program

    • ajm07 on 21/03/2022 - 10:09

      Awareness…of how to do first aid? Are you saying we should pay for a better course?

      Serious question. I'm going to do this one unless I should do another one.

      • blerk on 21/03/2022 - 12:08
        +2

        Yes, you really should do a face-to-face one (at least in part) so that you can do hands-on compressions on a dummy and an actual bandage application.

        • ajm07 on 21/03/2022 - 12:48

          Thanks for your insight, some good points.

    These long running reposts are throwing off my OZB experience. I keep seeing my own stupid comments from years ago when clicking on them thinking it's a new post.

      Don't think this is a recognised certificate. The national certificate is HLTAID011

    • MrQ12 on 31/08/2023 - 16:21

      i could be wrong but OHS is about safety in the workplace
      this first aid thing is when you have a man down… so its 2 different thing
