                     Training
OBJECTIVES

                • At the end of this course
                  participants should be able to demonstrate:

                  – How to assess the collapsed victim.
                  – How to place an unconscious breathing victim in the
                    recovery position.
NECA Training




                  – How to perform chest compression and rescue
                    breathing.
                  – What is Anaphylaxis
                  – What causes Anaphylaxis
                  – How to recognise and treat Anaphylaxis
BACKGROUND

                • Approximately 700,000 cardiac arrests per year
                  in Europe
                • Survival to hospital discharge presently
                  approximately 5-10%

                • Bystander CPR vital intervention before arrival of
                  emergency services
NECA Training




                • Early resuscitation and prompt defibrillation
                  (within 1-2 minutes) can result in >60% survival

What is Anaphylaxis?


                Anaphylaxis is:
                  - A severe, life-threatening, generalized or
                  systemic hypersensitivity reaction


                        Anaphylaxis is characterised by:
