Our First Aid (HLTAID11) Course In Toowoomba

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

CPR is a life-saving technique crucial for maintaining circulation and breathing in a person who has suffered cardiac arrest. In the HLTAID11 course, you will practice CPR on manikins, learning the correct hand placement, compression depth, and rhythm to maximize the chances of reviving a patient. As the techniques differ, there will be different practices for performing CPR on both adults and infants.

Use of Automated External Defibrillator (AED)

An AED is an essential device that can restore a regular heart rhythm in a person experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. Our course will teach you how to correctly attach and operate an AED, interpret its prompts, and safely deliver a shock if necessary.

Managing Airway Obstructions

Choking is a common emergency, and knowing how to clear an obstruction from a person’s airway is vital. You will know techniques such as back blows, chest thrusts, and the Heimlich maneuver to assist someone who is choking.

Wound Care and Bleeding Control

Managing wounds and controlling bleeding are critical first-aid skills. You will learn to apply pressure, dress wounds, and use bandages effectively to minimise blood loss and prevent infection. Additionally, the course covers the management of more severe injuries, such as amputations or deep lacerations.

Fractures and Sprains

Accidents often cause injuries to bones and joints. Our first aid training course will teach you how to immobilise fractures, apply slings, and manage sprains using appropriate techniques to prevent further injury and alleviate pain.

Burns and Scalds

Understanding how to treat burns and scalds is crucial in first aid. You will learn the correct methods to cool the burn, cover it, and manage the pain. The course also covers the treatment of chemical burns and the importance of seeking medical attention for more severe cases.

Shock Management

Shock is a life-threatening condition that can result from severe injury or illness. This training will teach you to recognise the signs of shock, such as pale, clammy skin, rapid pulse, and confusion, and how to provide appropriate first aid to stabilise the patient until professional help arrives.

Poisoning

Poisoning can occur through ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact with harmful substances. Our course provides knowledge on how to identify different types of poisoning, administer appropriate first aid, and when to seek urgent medical help.

Handling Medical Emergencies

The course also includes training on managing various medical emergencies, such as asthma attacks, anaphylaxis, heart attacks, strokes, and diabetic emergencies. You will understand how to recognise the symptoms, provide first aid, and understand the importance of prompt medical intervention.
