My First Aid Training Class

This morning I went to my very first first aid training class in the hall. I learnt a lot of things about how to look after someone if they are choking, if they have broken bones or burns and also if they have a asthma attack. The first thing we did was learn about the recovery position. You have to lay them on their side a certain way so they have more chance of breathing.

Mel the instructor told us that the very first thing to do is check for danger. If someone is choking they won’t be able to talk or cough. If you come across somebody who has a broken bone tell them to keep still.

If someone has a burn cool the burn down with some ice or water. We also learnt about asthma if you see someone that is having an asthma attack sit them down and make sure they have had their inhaler .
