Description |
The aim of this course is to enable all participants to deal with an unresponsive casualty who is breathing, and know how to deal with an unresponsive casualty who is not breathing. Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are now becoming more common throughout a range of workplaces. A casualty’s survival rate will dramatically increase if an AED is available and if you have appropriately qualified personnel to use it.
