25.01.2022 Our HLT nationally accredited courses covering this are; 1, 3 and 7 and their new code numbers. Snake bite envenomation:... This is a graphic case of a snake bite envenomation. Peripheral tissue necrosis rapidly sets in post contact. The usual treatments work very well provided the patient isn’t joined by an over zealous rescuer who attempts to identify the creature when it really isn’t necessary. One patient is bad enough, but two is unforgivable. Trainers: Please consider grouping such training with other treatments for anaphylactoid reactions and symptoms such as asthma, hypotension and EpiPens. Total patient rest, compression bandaging as well as splinting are absolutely necessary in your training/treatment regimen. https://lnkd.in/gUYAvyY

25.01.2022 Theyre never too young to learn. 1. Rote learning works well with both children and some adults with learning issues; 2. Role play is an excellent tool;... 3. Filming performances also enhances the learning process. Make it fun. There are many tools that a skilled educator should access and use to facilitate the learning process. The better educators dont use the one process fits all ideology either. The learning process should be driven by the students needs and not the facilitators. Yes, you MUST show airway management and EAR to be viewed as being competent in your CPR course. Otherwise your course does not fulfil current guidelines. EAR is in some circumstances a compulsory action otherwise the patient dies without it. 1. Near drownings; 2. Blue ringed octopus invenomation; 3. Head injuries, and 4. Drug overdoses. Need assistance with your lesson plans and delivery methodologies? Please contact us for a consult. https://lnkd.in/gfPgz_w https://lnkd.in/gMzz4Vt

23.01.2022 Shaking baby syndrome can easily happen. One moment if rage and in a quick shake may result in dead child. Sadly, Ive treated many in my ambo career. ... Typically, the child has an unnaturally hanging neck, bloodied and bubbly nostrils and their arms are in a decorticate response. The brain quickly breaks away from the spinal column which results in death. Perpetrators place the child back to bed thinking they child have become quiet due to being yelled at. Not so. The body being discovered in the morning when the child doesnt wake up.

23.01.2022 Cant say much more. Our paramedics not only view the scene, but they also physically touch their patient while performing complex and upsetting procedures all the while being closely watched and evaluated by others. They recall the look on the patients face, their relatives, onlookers and the media.... These days they rarely go back to a station to restock and debrief - theyre in the truck for most of their long shift. Conflict and an often abrasive work environment adds to their burden. Poorly trained others become post incident experts and tend to be smart arses thinking they know what a professional paramedic actually does only add to their burden. After all, the clinical buck stops with them. Please dont tell them that they dont do much work as theyre the ones you dont want to see busy. https://m.youtube.com/results?search_query=Rto32085 www.firstaidsafetytraining.com.au

23.01.2022 Our EPODs now come in three designs and price ranges. 1. Guardian: Lightweight construction in aluminium with an AED in each of its two Thomas Packs. ... Specifically designed and equipped for above and underground mines and gas plants where electrical conduction is a critical WH&S Operational compliance requirement. 2. Sentinel: Galvanised steel in construction and highly suitable for public areas where mass casualties are expected. Its medically designed with our full array of paramedic equipment to arrest torrential life threatening bleeding and blocked airways. Its equipped with six of the the latest in Mindray AEDs. Four are located in its outer compartment while two are in its Thomas Packs. 3. The Heskett: Is constructed in Kevlar using our unique pentagon tapered design system with two doors that are resistant to close order explosion and shelled projectile fire. Its designed for high risk areas such as terrorist targets in airports, marine ports, football arenas and larger foot traffic areas. It can be discreetly hidden in advertising material. It can be clad in military camouflaged dark green and dark brown if required in a battle zone. The Heskett is fully equipment with rescue stretchers and is able to carry shelled weaponry.

23.01.2022 The following depiction is of Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR) followed by a single Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC). PVC’s can prove a precursor to the deadly rhythm commonly known as Ventricular Fibrillation, through; 1. Occurring in runs of more than four PVC’s;... 2. R/T; 3. Frequently, and 4. Associated with cardio genic type pain. For our first aiders, it’s important to take a pulse over a full minute and to ask their patient of the occasional harder beat in their chest. These are important reasons for having your ESO’s trained and equipped with even a basic ECG machine to at least record them for their ‘up the chain clinicians.’ Note: Many of us have these occasionally with no lethality or other adverse effects. Any emergency patients may be at life threatening illness if they are exhibiting them. Positive note: The administration of O2, nitrates, pain relief and aspirin may eliminate them. https://lnkd.in/gUYAvyY

22.01.2022 Land and off shore based drilling operations; These are workplaces that present with some serious and challenging workplace health and safety issues. The key to all of this is a Job Safety Analysis (JSA). ... A JSA is a living document that is intended to legally enforce both positive communication and cooperation with all team members who are involved in certain tasks. Yes, they can be laborious to write. Yes, they can be time consuming. Yes, they can and will guide teams to think out, work through and cooperate through all aspects of a potentially testing job. A JSA needs; 1. All attendees to read, sign and document that they understand its intent; Jobs must not proceed until all aspects of a JSA are completed. 2. New members do point (1); 3. All JSAs have a finite life that must be re-newed before its written expiry time; 4. Small changes to the workplace (including light and dust levels) must be documented on the JSA, and; 5. The JSA must be clearly accessible to anyone who may need to view its contents. Key notes: A tool box meeting is not a JSA. A call to Stop The Job is not only everyones right but is also everyones responsibility. If you dont feel comfortable performing a task, then dont do it. Go home. Talk soon, Baf #jsa

22.01.2022 Save lives. Save money. Use your belt. Equipment dependency syndrome; Some first aid courses teach a reliance on formal equipment that is accessed through a first aid kit. ... First Aid is about saving a life using the tools that are readily and immediately available at hand. Check out our latest range of haemorrhage control mechanisms. 1. There is no need to rely on any first aid kit to control severe life threatening bleeding. They are often a waste of time as people panic and dont know what to do if they cant find the kit as they are taught to become equipment dependent; 2. Belts and similar apparel are easily and freely accessible whereas formal torniquets arent; 3. The lint free tea towel also doubles as a torniquet and a mouth to mouth barrier and also for burns once the area is cooled for at least twenty minutes and the towel is soaked in clean and cool water. First Aid is just that. We teach our students to think outside the square and how to use whats readily available as life saving tools. Interested? PM us for a course. https://lnkd.in/gUYAvyY

21.01.2022 If your Cert IV, diploma or degree instructor hasnt performed CPR at over 80 ks an hour in the back of an ambulance - then how can they possibly impart the skills and the knowledge to empower you to safely manage a real life emergency? Join the increasing numbers of participants learning from our Monday 1500 (Perth time) Skype sessions to discuss how real life cases are managed by street wise ambulance AHPRA Registered Paramedics.

21.01.2022 I recently completed a ten day stint as an ICP/HSE advisor east of Port Hedland in Outback Western Australia. The challenges that my team of eighteen terrific guys was to return home safe and sound with the usual factors including; 1. Hydration: a laser confined ground temperature of 61.2oC. ... Out in the open sun, with little or no wind or shade really tested our collective resolve to maintain our zero injury/illness record. This presented us with some significant health promotion issues especially with the team wearing their hot and restrictive PPE; 2. Maintaining team morale with positive feedback pep talks; 3. Setting out a workable Medical Emergency Response Plan (MERP) as we had little communication to summon help which was two hours away; 4. Monitoring their sleep/test patterns and compounding fatigue issues proved a real challenge as they started to fall asleep during our 1.5 hour one way journey. In summary, this type of work is challenging at the best of times as we occupy a third role as a community health professional taking good care of a group of hard working men of differing ages and medical status and needs. Those of you who wish to hire on site medical services personnel, please contact us for some interesting advice that can save and enrich the lives of your isolated FIFO teams.

20.01.2022 Registered Training Organisations: KIAH Health owns First Aid Safety Training (RTO 32085). Our leadership are all skilled AHPRA Registered Paramedics and skilled facilitators.... KIAH has agreed that our RTO should expand into courses that dont involve HLTAID clinical skills, but where the interaction between a clinician and a patient involves differing skills. ERT, mines rescue, firemen and first responders all perform fabulously, but may lack expertise and exposure to the training skills of our Intensive Care Paramedics. Basically, non Ambulance trained clinicians are not exposed to the same protocols, pharmacologies and the procedures that our Ambulance clinicians are. KIAH will be expanding our RTOs scope to include a myriad of emergency courses and skills. These will be taught with our patient orientated focus in conjunction with our rescue trained facilitators. So why not give up your RTO altogether with its compliance and other headaches? Allow us to hold your courses on our scope, just for you. Allow us to mentor and guide your facilitators in their clinical and business excellence. We are re-structuring during this Coronavirus period and are proud to announce that; All new contractors joining KIAH will not be charged a joining fee. Talk soon, Baf

20.01.2022 Potential industry partners; Those who are interested in joining with us as their preferred RTO delivering our nationally accredited courses should do so before 30 June 2020. We are waiving our usual $5k annual joining fee before that date. ... Benefits; 1. We are a stable and well regarded clinically focussed RTO delivering quality nationally accredited life saving courses; 2. Amazing and useful business back up from our intensive care paramedics and delivery experts; 3. A full suite of course notes that are backed up by our LMS and SMS, and 4. Employers who will welcome our minimal off the tools time courses for their employees. First Aid Safety Training (RTO 32085) is the training arm of its parent company, KIAH Health. If successful, your inclusion will be as a contractor holding the usual insurances, registrations, licenses and clinical qualifications. Non clinical RTOs should consider passing their clinical courses over to us.

19.01.2022 Resources based professionals: Are you sick and tired of re-hashing the same old course content being delivered by well meaning but inept facilitators from tick and flick RTOs? We understand that you are after a quality hands on and a practical course delivered by ambulance professionals. ... Our First Aid Safety Training (RTO 32085) is offering the nationally accredited course: HLTAID007 Provide Advanced Resuscitation. I am a retired Aeromedical Retrieval Intensive Care Paramedic and am also Registered with AHPRA.

19.01.2022 CPR tips: Maintaining effective EAR is critical to keeping the brain perfused with life saving blood during CPR. 1. Place the patient in a supine position;... 2. If they look dead, they probably are - start compressions as soon as you possible can; 3. Maintain your ECM right up until the AED is attached, the machine is turned on and until it tells you to cease compressions while analysing. Once the machine tells you to begin EAR - do so; This meme is an excellent learning tool as is the attached training video. https://lnkd.in/gyXt_a3 https://lnkd.in/gUYAvyY

18.01.2022 Such a terrible event. A tragic and an avoidable death and the jailing of the aged business owner. Another family loses a breadwinner. Mates lose a mate.... Children lose a father. Who said that WH&S is a toothless tiger whos laws are not to be taken seriously and that can and will be flaunted? Between a workers health and safety and a bosses liability is an assertive and a brave WH&S Officer who can educate and protect and lead both towards a culture of collective safety. WH&S is everyones non delegatable responsibility. You just cant shirk it. You can learn it. You can implement it. Not only do you have the ability to stop the job, but you have an obligation under the law to do so. The article attached is a clear example. Boss wont let you - then leave while you can and not in a box. WH&S isnt about regurgitating laws, Acts and procedures and obtaining certificates without implementing what they teach us to do. Its about leadership - leadership is about influencing to alter anothers actions by defining a clear and an unambiguous example that needs to be followed. Want to know more about common sense WH&S? Then ring me so I can put you in contact with one of our many practicing consultants and organisational engineers. 0407281425 #leadership https://www.amsj.com.au/72-year-old-woman-first-to-be-jail/

18.01.2022 This weeks Skype discussion covers; 1. Hypoxia; Hypoxic hypoxia;... Ischaemic hpoxia; Anaemic hypoxia; VQ=/; Shunting, Stagnant Histotoxic hypoxia. And their treatment delivery options will be discussed. Also... 2. Hypovolemia; Absolute, Relative Stagnant. And their treatment delivery options will be discussed. Please look me up on Skype at Baf.kuka751. Who should attend? 1. Current students enrolled in an intermediate based learning setting such as an Australian Cert IV in EMS or a Diploma of Paramedic Science. 2. Post graduate students who have not had a great deal of exposure to real life EMS and who have a low practical interaction with senior Ambulance practitioners, and 3. Nurses/hospital based health delivery professionals who have not had an adequate exposure to an extensive and a testing pre-hospital care. These are subsidised by KIAH Health We keep delegate numbers low and have respected guest speakers well versed in the paramedic setting who will provide a practical case setting to what is an important learning/currency initiative. Date: 17 December 2018: Times: 1500 Perth Australian time: 1800 Perth Australian time: Bookings: [email protected]

17.01.2022 Interaction between state operated ambulance and private services: Ineptitude or turf protection? Is it one of professional snobbery; a deadly flawed tiered approach or one simply lacking in both vision and leadership from all sides? ... Could we all work together to better reduce response times, provide better OHCA, provide both a consistent and a higher standard of transparent care that exceeds citizen expectations? The state run services often go flying past the private services who are often well equipped and staffed with highly skilled paramedics. These ultimate first responders (an amazing resource) are often overlooked for non clinically focussed first responders such as fire fighters. Co-alerts, radios and GPS locators are available, but not installed and therefore never to be used. Why so? We need to have this conversation. KIAH Health advocates for life saving citizen CPR & AEDs for paramedic access, regardless of the vehicles badging to a patients urgent need for clinical excellence. Its not just the provision of AEDs or life saving haemorrhage control here; its just the decent and the proper Australian thing to do when someone is facing a once in a lifetime calamity. Talk soon, Baf #firstresponders #paramedics #healthprofessionals #stigma #clinicians #supportive

16.01.2022 The three levels of CPR Training; 1. Bystander CPR (regardless of the clinical skills of the rescuer). This involves performing CPR with little or no equipment (other than an AED) and at best delayed access to skilled assistants. ... Most times these patients are sudden collapses who fall in the supine position; Rescuers need to gently take charge of civilian bystanders and to delegate life saving duties such as calling Triple Zero and following the advice given; 2. Pre-hospital care Resuscitation; Two person high performance CPR under strict clinical governance using the a) Gasman and b) the Electrician Resuscitation methods. These patients present challenges with differing positions, challenging airways and lengthy on scene times. 3. In-hospital care Resuscitation; Highly complex multi layered clinical intervention with a strict heirachial layered approach with participants being allocated focussed roles such as a) Airway b) Compressions c) IV access; d) Parental therapies e) Recording f) taking bloods, and g) X-Rays. Differing role delineation needed to prevent fatigue and tunnel vision Summary; The training needs to be delivered for in hospital carers on all three levels so they are able to adapt to in the Cardiac Arrest Algorithm(s) where ever they are placed.

16.01.2022 Contracted facilitators required: First Aid Safety Training (RTO 32085) remains committed to the highest quality of delivery options and methodologies. 2019 presents our training industry with some excellent opportunities for growth.... Compliances necessitate work places to be trained and equipped to deal with a myriad of emergencies. Communities need AED training for their peace of mind.

15.01.2022 A great save by one of our recent HLTAID003 students. First aid does work. You can save lives. ... First aid is easily recalled. Only trust a clinician to teach it. https://lnkd.in/g8xhWan https://lnkd.in/g8khiPV https://lnkd.in/gTJTkHG

15.01.2022 Lets clear the BS away ... CPR training does save lives - Its not easy to to learn ... Its not easy to do Insist on learning paediatric techniques If your instructor balks at teaching you 30:2 or paeds - then walk out and get a new one as they are incompetent 30:2 CPR is THE standard - sustained ECM is not CPR as SCM is very hard to perform and tires you out very quickly and in realty it doesnt work for many reasons Get an instructor whose job it is/was to perform it - they understand the realities involved Only go to an RTO that is out to teach you properly and not just after your money You get what you pay for Just want a ticket? - then look pretty hard at yourself and your kids, your workmates and hang your head in shame AEDs are not everywhere they should be AEDs are not easy to use AEDs can be dangerous Call me if you dont understand any of the above We will not barter for our courses - our price is our price - we only use professionals - barter with your heart surgeon and see how you go We use two registered paramedics to deliver our courses - thats how seriously we take them - so should you If they dont teach you to debrief post incident - then youve been sold a worthless course. https://youtu.be/vVIV8UttsJ4 Baf - 0407281425

14.01.2022 Emergency Paramedic Operational Deployers; People die in mass casualty incidents due to; 1. Massive blood loss, and ... 2. Blocked airways. Our EPODs are purposely designed to cater for both with these two deadliest threats using its seperate and distinct features; 1. First aid equipment to treat burns, spinal injuries, long bone fractures and other first aid related injuries; 2. Medical equipment that allows clinicians to set up intravenous lines, apply advanced airway techniques including LMAs and intubation and bilateral reduction of tension pneumothorax; 3. Multiple stretchers including fully set up Stokes Litters and SKED types for helicopter rescues; 4. Site Commander and Control vests that have Geiger Counters in case of Chemical, Biological and Radiological incidents, mobile radios and international colour coded mass casualty tags.

12.01.2022 Australian(s) Of The Year: On this fateful day in 1998, marine rescue vessels and rescue helicopters from Canberra, Victoria and New South Wales were scrambled to attend this Bass Strait emergency. Jeff Hook, a gifted black and white cartoonist, very kindly gave me this drawing of a helicopter rescue during the deadly 1998 Sydney To Hobart Yacht Race. ... This is an accurate depiction of the incredible bravery shown by the helicopter crew and a down the wire Victorian Ambulance Flight MICA Paramedic rescuing a crewman using a Dauphine machine. Story goes that the patient was almost drowned as a result of the ferocity of the storm that claimed many lives and crippled many vessels. This is what our brave rescue helicopter crewies do to save the lives of our community during a once in a lifetime calamity. Both the patient and the boat crew said the best sight they ever had in their lives was when the helicopter came into view through a bleak sky with the district sound of the Dauphines rotor slap and its Fenestron blades. Five boats sank and six people died. Of the 115 boats that started, only 44 made it to Hobart.

11.01.2022 Interaction with non clinical team members; Recently speaking with on site resources based clinicians, there appears to be a rift, a gap or a divide between them and other non clinicians. Worrying, to say the least.... Our ethos is that the highest clinician provides leadership in any emergency. Why? We look at matters from an overall perspective; we see dangers and opportunities which may be missed in the heat of the moment. The highest clinician is always responsible for the patient. How? Our years of attending actual cases as professionals in ambulance services empowers us with expertise rarely granted others. Our uniqueness allows us to work in with our WH&S, ESO and ERT teams in a single, a cohesive and a fluid movement. Case load experience trumps class room session every time. ‘Practice Prevents Panic’ www.kiahhealth.com.au https://lnkd.in/g9M4tRT

11.01.2022 Remote site AHPRA Registered Intensive Care Paramedics: Id be interested in your thoughts about: 1. Single use plastic laryngoscope blades especially on site with limited replacement stocks and with no autoclave capacity; and ... 2. Using pre-cut Portex tubes; Size 7 - 23 cm Size 8- 25 cm Size 9 - 27 cm. All ours are pre-cut and contain a satin slip introducing stylette and kept in a dedicated intubation roll together with a tube of lognocaine 2% gel. There is no place for KY gel as we are after a topical local anaesthetic rather than a lubricant. Please enjoy the attached excellent article. https://lnkd.in/gaivrzX #tubing #rolling #lubrication #sizing #autoclave #intubation

11.01.2022 Insects in external auditory ear canals; This is a highly distressing situation (especially with paeds) where an insect has entered into the ear canal. Commonly, its a small moth or a fly that somehow finds its way in. ... The animal scratches at the ear drum causing a great deal of distress and panic. The best first aid is to darken the room and focus a small light at the ear. This encourages the insect away from the inner ear to the outer ear and to hopefully leave. However, there are times that you will need to drown the insect. Lay the patient with the affected ear facing the ceiling. Then fill an eye dropper with *olive oil and gently flood the ear - this will either drown the insect or encourage it to leave. * Why olive oil? The oil will make the insect float to the surface instead of sinking further down into the ear canal. If when you see the insects body near the entrance to the ear, use a set of tweezers to pull it out. Rule 1. Never insert a cotton bud or a pair of tweezers past the ear canal. Rule 2. Always seek a health professional to inspect the ear as it may need a more thorough clean. Rule 3. Gently Infiltrate sterile water and give the ear a good flush. Wed like to read your experiences with these first aid matters. #insects

11.01.2022 Arterial tourniquets: Indication; 1. Bleeding area too large,... 2. Lack of assistance, and 3. Applied immediately before release of a compression force. Method; 1. Posture - flat 2. Pressure - direct using pressure points 3. Elevation - elevate the limb where possible. 4. Place manual blood pressure cuff between bleeding and the torso - inflate to 20mm Hg above systolic pressure - occlude both lines with artery forceps - place Leuko type plasts over the Velcro areas to ensure adequate grip. 5. Release and monitor periodically if limb part still attached, any rise in BP; 6. Do not cover tourniquet with bandages, blankets or clothing; 7. Clearly mark the time of application on the patients forehead with a clear T, set your phone to a twenty minute cycle to relieve the tourniquet; 8. In a first aid setting, use as wide a tourniquet as possible - trouser belts are excellent. Monitor the patients condition on a regular basis; Monitor their ECG (Lead II is fine) especially prior to; during and post release of compression force (s); Look for ECG changes - sine wave pattens - PEA - asystole - cardiac arrest. If you dont have Ringers, Dextrose, NaCO3- or calcium chloride to manage the deadly acid - then re-apply your tourniquet(s);

10.01.2022 These current tragic bushfires have pushed snakes out into rural communities. Theyre chasing their food sources and also fresh water. Both are in short supply. ... The chances of human/snake interaction is highly likely due to these issues and other extraordinary abnormal bush threats and conditions. With that, my latest blog covers; Suspected snake AND other creature envenomation(s); Protein injection treatments are basically the same and need urgent, careful and a learned safety approach. Apart from the usual precautions and treatment regimes, please add; 1. Look for signs of anaphylaxis. Source an EpiPen. 2. Asthma like symptoms. Source for a Ventolin inhaler (use a money note folded as a spacer) and use the 4 X 4 method. Locate an AED and have it at the ready. When you think of anaphylactoid symptoms, automatically think concomitant asthma like symptoms too. Other first aid based RTOs commits to teaching these associated, yet potentially deadly hidden co-effects, that are often ignored as the current training simply doesnt cover these in the current set of competencies. Guess what? We do. https://lnkd.in/gfPgz_w https://lnkd.in/gMzz4Vt Talk soon, Baf

09.01.2022 Wonderful synced cardio version.

08.01.2022 First aid tips... This week we highlight tooth injuries: I once had a patient who crashed his push bike at speed resulting in him being flung over the handlebars and face planting on a hard pavement.... He avulsed four of his canine teeth which were spread out over two metres from the impact zone. Treatment; 1. Placed all four teeth in a condom; 2. Had the patient then spit into the condom sufficiently to cover them; 3. Then placed the rolled up condom inside the area between his bottom lip and his bottom teeth; 4. Transported him to the local dentist where he just put them back into their respective holes, and 5. Administered a targeted antibiotic and mild analgesic. Simple. 1. Dont ever wash teeth in water; 2. Store them in milk for no more than an hour; 3. Use the patients own spit to keep the teeth hydrated, and 4. Always seek a dentists advice. https://lnkd.in/gwZU4bT

07.01.2022 The Corona virus has spooked many students into withdrawing from formal studies. To address this important matter, weve now severely shrunk course attendance numbers. Were finding excellent business incursion opportunities at our new Perth location for smaller groups catering for special needs first aid students. ... 1. Students with learning difficulties; 2. Shyness; 3. Poor learning experiences, 4. An inability to learn in a large group environment. Our new numbers are limited from a minimum of four to a maximum of ten delegates in one session. This is a boutique first aid learning environment which is highly regarded with a positive impact. Please consider having your learning managers contact us for a course outline, learning outcomes and a dispel the myths over the phone session with us. We certainly arent a tick and flick RTO. Lives are at stake. Connect with us on 0407281425 [email protected] https://lnkd.in/gfPgz_w https://lnkd.in/g8xhWan Talk soon, Baf

06.01.2022 Whats wrong with this picture? Let me explain... Toddlers drown in such buckets. The buckets base is as wide as its top, which means that it will be stable and will resist tippage. Its relatively low centre of gravity will mean its difficult to tip over. This means that it will hold a large amount of water and is a deadly trap for an unsupervised and playful toddler. ... Typically, the toddler plays with the water and with its low height makes it easy for the toddler to fall into. The child topples in head first, the buckets wide and stable base ensures that it doesnt fall over, the child cant scream, drowns and then we have a preventable, tragic and a silent death. Our KidsSafe course covers such toddler safety issues. Please, dont leave your life saving training wanting with inexperienced trainers. Its just too important. All our trainers are highly experienced who have performed CPR as their jobs in real life. CPR is still 30:2 for both adults and paeds. #lifesaving #firstaidtraining #cpr #exercises #becauseofherwecan

06.01.2022 These current tragic bushfires have pushed snakes out into rural communities. They’re chasing their food sources and also fresh water. Both are in short supply. ... The chances of human/snake interaction is highly likely due to these issues and other extraordinary abnormal bush threats and conditions. With that, my latest blog covers; Suspected snake AND other creature envenomation(s); Protein injection treatments are basically the same and need urgent, careful and a learned safety approach. Apart from the usual precautions and treatment regimes, please add; 1. Look for signs of anaphylaxis. Source an EpiPen. 2. Asthma like symptoms. Source for a Ventolin inhaler (use a money note folded as a spacer) and use the 4 X 4 method. Locate an AED and have it at the ready. When you think of anaphylactoid symptoms, automatically think concomitant asthma like symptoms too. Other first aid based RTO’s commits to teaching these associated, yet potentially deadly hidden co-effects, that are often ignored as the current training simply doesn’t cover these in the current set of competencies. Guess what? We do. https://lnkd.in/gfPgz_w https://lnkd.in/gMzz4Vt Talk soon, Baf

05.01.2022 Client contact: I interviewed a potential client regarding her teams first aid compliance requirements. They have a total of four nurseries which presented many opportunities to engage with them.... We looked at going over the following industry specific first aid subjects; 1. Manual handling; 2. Insect stings/bites; 3. Calling for an ambulance to arrive at a specific loading dock to save time; 4. Because of their Customers demographics - parents with young bubbas and kids - to elderly folk - they all can present certain challenges, and 5. How to empower their teams to handle an actual emergency such as a cardiac arrest. But the main issue we had was how to teach their teams how to perform efficient CPR and not just continuous ECM. Apparently theyve been told that they dont have to learn how to perform EAR on any patient and that they will still receive a Statement of Attainment. Not with us...! We also looked at our new leasing and upkeep rates for AEDs where we supply and check them every month. We also perform spot training to support them in what they see as a testing course. www.firstaidsafetytraining.com.au [email protected] https://youtu.be/vVIV8UttsJ4 0407281425

05.01.2022 CPR training highlights our usual success - but how many current scenarios can you see here? The smile on one of our doctor/student faces shows it all. We remain within the ARC Guidlines while fine tuning the mevucal centres training to suit their team makeup. ... 1. An AED coordinator; 2. An ECM coordinator; 3. An Airway coordinator; 4. A Triple Zero Coordinator; 5. A medical records retrieval coordinator; 6. A Covid Covid Compliance Coordinator; 7. A patient relative coordinator, and 8. Training coordinator. Our T’s and C’s contain a visit every three months to ensure team leadership compliance’s. What a pleasure taking these wonderful doctors, nurses and allied health professionals on a journey to clinical excellence...! You can see from the smiles on their faces of how much fun they had while learning how to handle multiple emergencies from paediatrics to resuscitation to AED to defusing violent patients to debriefing. https://lnkd.in/gUYAvyY

04.01.2022 Why do some profess ECM only as opposed to 30:2 CPR? 1. Its easier to teach; Yes.... 2. Its easier to learn; Yes. 3. Its easier to recall; Yes. 4. It stops all the yuckiness with EAR; Yes. 5. It encourages bystanders to have a go, Yes. ANSWERS; 1. You have to be taught and you have to demonstrate competency in 30:2 CPR for at least two minutes to be granted a Statement Of Attainment (SOA). Performing ECM only does not entitle you to a SOA. 2. Yes, but a qualified trainer and assessor will show you properly. 3. Yes, but a qualified trainer and assessor will show you how to recall it properly. 4. Yes, but use a towel or a shirt to cover the airway which will stop that anyway. 5. Yes, but when youve been trained correctly, then you will have a go and do it PROPERLY. Sudden our of hospital cardiac arrest patients can survive with the remaining O2 in their system. For a little while at least. Near drownings, head injuries, opioid overdoses and blue ringed octopus envenomations all quickly use up their diluted oxygen Big differences here. *ECM only tires you out too quickly.* The brain is quickly deprived of oxygen and the patient then dies. Call me and I will instruct you on how to perform CPR properly on both adults and kids. #trained #cardiac

04.01.2022 As I went to my local train station, I checked their AED and found its pads were almost 12 months out of date. The station manager and I had a great chat about this - he was very positive and said that he was taught that as long as the green light flicked that the machine was operational. No so.... After a few quick tips about the need for a weekly physical check of the AED plus the face towel, disposable razor and small shears, the station manager was left with more questions. What are the scissors, face towel and razor for, Baf? Im concerned with slack organisations selling AEDs with little or no Customer back up and some very poor training. Words like duty of care, negligence and poor support quickly come to mind. https://lnkd.in/gfPgz_w https://lnkd.in/euzxU3c #dutyofcare #paramedic #checks #training

03.01.2022 Emergency Paramedic Operational Deployers: Mindray monitors and AEDs Weve commissioned Mindray to supply all our AEDs and patient monitors for KIAH Healths operations.... Both a monitor and an AED will be located in each of our Thomas Packs. A total of six AEDs are standard issue in both of our Sentinel and Heskett models. They will provide the best practice we can supply to future paramedics and doctors who are confronted with a cardiac arrest or critically ill, injured and isolated patients. Their ease of use; security of back up and supply, ruggedness, effectiveness, simplicity of design and of course value for money are why we saw them as above the competition. We welcome Mindray to our list of quality suppliers. #paramedic #doctors #health Call me for a personal clinical needs analysis so we can design an Emergency Paramedic Operational Deployer or Thomas Pack to suit your needs.

02.01.2022 These three posters epitomise the critical importance of our first aid courses. I’m often asked what I do for a living: ‘I support an amazing team to teach our community how to save lives.’... When we receive an email from an ever grateful student who has recently applied their new skills to saving a life, you can understand why we become so elated. We’ve taken our quality support for our facilitators to the next level. We now assign two mentors to assist them. 1. Is a clinical supporter, and 2. Is a facilitation delivery supporter. We have a post delivery discussion which highlights how the course went. It’s through this quality driven facilitation environment that we encourage our ‘learning culture.’ It’s really no wonder why we’re being increasingly asked by some very keen facilitators to join us. ‘Practice Prevents Panic.’ https://lnkd.in/gUYAvyY

01.01.2022 The art of leadership can only work when we have active and willing followers. Leaders need encouragement too. Current times are testing everyone.... They are difficult with great uncertainties and issues that require more than just one person to identify, to plan for a workable resolution and to implement that plan while continually monitoring its progression. Change leadership needs more than just a top down configuration. When was the last time you enquired how your boss was managing their issues? We all expect them to look out for us, but rarely ask how they are. Its a fair question. Welfare checks work both ways. Youd be surprised how effective a phone call or an invitation for a coffee will be to supporting all of the team, not just the troops. Lets talk about your plans to implement Change Leadership before; 1. Your Customers sack you; 2. The regulators force you to change; 3. Your competition forces change, or 4. You take the initiative and change yourself before others force change upon you. Talk soon, Baf
