This training demonstrates how to apply a splint or sling, and explains the signs of shock and how to respond to them. Symptoms of heat-related illness are covered, and the need to respond immediately to heat stroke is emphasized. The video shows each step involved in performing the Heimlich maneuver to aid a choking victim. The use of automated external defibrillators to help rescue someone whose pulse is erratic or has stopped is explained in detail. Using this device helps 60 percent of victims suffering from sudden cardiac arrest survive an incident. An overview of the two types of Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) helps people know when to apply chest compressions only or chest compressions and rescue breathing.
