Silver Star CPR

I'm holding ANOTHER CPR/AED & First Aid class on 12/19! The class is an 8 hour class (8am-4pm with a lunch break) and will be on 12/19 in Napa (location will be sent to students who sign up).

You will learn CPR/AED for adult, child, and infant and you will learn FIRST AID for an adult. We will practice social distancing but there will be times where you and another student will be sharing a mannequin. Masks are required and I will provide medical gloves as well as hand sanitizer.

If you are interested or have questions please feel free to message me on FB or email [email protected]

Another class down! Here I'm demonstrating how to conduct compressions properly.

CPR class #3

CPR/AED class today!

PowerPoint is complete! Classes rolling out soon 😁

High quality chest compressions are the most important part of CPR. They help keep the brain and other vital organs alive by pushing oxygen filled blood throughout the body.

Remember 30 to 2.
30 compressions at a rate of 100 compressions a min. After 30 compressions deliver 2 breaths if you have a barrier. If you do not have a breathing barrier, continous compressions are a must!

What to do for a stroke?

A stroke is an injury to the brain by a disruption of blood flow to the brain cells. When a blood vessel becomes blocked or bursts, oxygen-rich blood is unable to reach a portion of the brain and brain cells begin to die.

So what do you do for a person having a stroke? You must be able to recognize the signs. We'll be using the acronym FAST.

1.) Facial droop on the left side. You could ask the patient to smile which helps in determining if the patient has facial droop.

2.) Arm weakness. Ask the patient to put both arms out in front of them like they are holding a tray and to close their eyes. If the patient is experiencing a stroke you will see an arm start to drift or lower but the other does not. Another option is to have the patient squeeze your fingers as hard as they can. You'll notice the patient is weaker on one side if they're having a stroke.

3.) Slurred speech. The patient will not be able to talk clearly while experiencing a stoke.

4.) Time. Call 911 if the patient is experiencing a stroke. Rapid transport to a hospital is needed immediately.

Remember the acronym FAST to help someone experiencing a stroke.

What to do for someone experiencing a seizure.

Seizures can be scary but for some it is something they experience every day. So how do you care for a seizure?

1.) If someone says they are about to have a seizure, help them lie down.

2.) Move nearby furniture or objects away from the patient so they do not injure themselves during the seizure.

3.) If safe to do so, place something small and soft under the head. During a seizure a person cannot control their body and placing something soft under their head protects them from further injury.

4.) Call 911 if the person is unresponsive after the seizure, potential head or neck injury, seizure is their first one or lasts more than 5 mins, or if they're diabetic it pregnant.

DO NOT restrain the person or put anything in the person's mouth. Seizures are common in children under the age of 2 due to a rapid increase in temperature. These seizures are called "febrile seizures".

What to do if you're pepper sprayed?

With protests happening around the US, many have seen the police use pepper spray to disperse demonstrators/protestors. I have been pepper sprayed before and it was an awful experience.

So what do you do if you've been pepper sprayed?

Leave the area, flush your eyes with WATER, remain calm, shower.

1.) Leave the area immediately. Pepper spray will effect your vision and you will want to get to a safe area for treatment.

2.) Flush your eyes and face with WATER...only WATER. If you experience pepper spray during a protest bring several large water bottles with you and poke a small hole in the cap to create a makeshift spray bottle. Try your best to not rinse above the eyes or you'll experience the pepper spray all over again. If theres pepper spray on your forehead and you spray your forehead with water, the water will go down your face possibly into your eyes with the pepper spray.

3.) Remain calm. Pepper spray will definitely effect your vision but could also effect your breathing. Try your best to remain calm and breathe.

4.) Rinse with soap and water/Shower but be careful. As mentioned before, the water will carry the pepper spray to other areas. I recommend wearing a swimsuit in the shower to protect yourself from experiencing a burning sensation in sensitive areas.
