Why child education professionals need to learn CPR

Child Education CPR training is extremely important. Child education is a profession that involves a huge amount of responsibility and often involves the care of multiple children at one time. As active children are prone to accidents, every child education professional should be fully prepared for this to happen. Children are the most vulnerable people in our society and as their caretaker, learning CPR is one of the best ways to ensure you are prepared if they ever fall ill or have a serious accident.

Studies show that when the brain receives no oxygen for four minutes, brain tissue begins to die and even after being resuscitated, the damage will be permanent. That is why it’s so essential that paramedics attend the scene of an accident or illness immediately, and also why it’s important that childcare professionals know what to do while waiting for paramedics to arrive.

With our child education CPR course in Brisbane, you can learn the fundamentals of resuscitating a child in a way that doesn’t cause further harm. You can ensure children in your care have the very best chance of survival.

A different kind of CPR

While much of the basics remain the same, Child CPR is very different to regular CPR in that it takes into consideration the smaller stature. Furthermore, CPR training for young children focuses largely on cardiopulmonary resuscitation as a result of children being more vulnerable to choking. This is one of the most common reasons why CPR is required, but our child education CPR training also offers learning and training for cases of drowning, and other situation where CPR maybe required.

The team at Fluid First Aid will walk you through the most common illnesses and injuries that children of different ages face, and the best practices to ensure that a child is kept safe while medical professionals travel to the scene. With our online video courses and hands-on workshops, you’ll learn the skills you need to save children’s’ lives.

Fluid CPR and First Aid courses are great value for money. They run lots of courses each week - so easy to book. The people teaching the courses are very knowledgeable and keep it interesting. Each time I’ve gone back for my annual CPR certificate I’ve learned something new. Be sure to turn up early to North Lakes sessions as parking can be an issue.
