Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Do You Have That Skill?

First Aid Skills are very important, they are lifesaving skills. The first four minutes after a casualty collapses are life threathning.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure that is performed in a bid to manually preserve intact brain function until better measures can be taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person in unconsciousness or cardiac arrest.

The video above justwas captured in Perth Supermarket, Australia. A builder resuscitated a child who had collapsed, lost consciousness, and stopped breathing while shopping with her mum in Australia.

The CCTV footage shows the two year old Shaylar’s mum, Amy Collard, carrying her to the supermarket’s counter.
 

The builder Mr. Rowan O'Neill, rushed to help the stricken girl - and fearing she was choking, he turned her upside down in an effort to revive her. (First Aid Skill).

Mr. O'Neill also attempted the Heimlich manoeuvre, by shaking her and patting her on the back.

When that failed, Mr. O'Neill begins mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (First Aid Skill) - and after 90 seconds the girl opened her eyes, local media said.

So you see how important this skill is.
