Paediatric First Aid Basingstoke: Choking Response
Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training, a Windsor-based first aid and fire safety training company, delivers paediatric first aid training at premises in Basingstoke and across five counties. If an adult cannot cough or breathe, give up to five back blows, then up to five abdominal thrusts, and call 999 if it does not clear.
How do back blows and abdominal thrusts work?
While they can still cough, let them, and encourage it. If they cannot cough, speak or breathe, give up to five back blows between the shoulder blades, followed by up to five abdominal thrusts.
Call 999 if it has not cleared after the cycles, and move to CPR if they stop responding. Anyone given abdominal thrusts should be checked by a doctor afterwards. Infants and children need different techniques.
Is first aid good for 3 years?
Yes, the certificate is, fire marshal training in Windsor but the skills fade faster than the paper. Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training recommends a short annual refresher and sends a reminder when requalification is due.
Does a team with a defibrillator need training?
At Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training, defibrillator training is a half-day course, practised on manikins with a training defibrillator. Delegates learn to recognise cardiac arrest, give good compressions and place the pads safely.
Where you have your own AED, the session can run on that exact model. Nothing is being sold here but the training. A modern AED talks the user through it; training adds speed and calm.
How do I check if my first aid certificate is still valid?
Look at the date on the certificate: an accredited certificate is valid for three years from the date you passed. If you have lost it, the training provider that issued it can confirm the date.
How many people can go on one course?
Twelve delegates is the typical maximum for a practical course. Small groups at Aim2Aid First Aid and Fire Safety Training mean every delegate gets real hands-on turns. Larger teams are simply split across more sessions.
You cannot learn compressions by watching someone else do them. In a small group everyone practises, including the people who arrived convinced they would be terrible at it. That is the difference between a certificate and confidence.
