Basic Life Support Session - CPR





Today i had no class... but i had to go to The Heath Hospital to attend the basic life support session. To b more exact, it was actually a brief CPR course. This session was attended by about 20 1st yr medical students and it was conducted by 2 demonstrators who are qualified doctors.

Well.. I m quite familiar wif CPR bcoz i actually took 2 CPR exams whn i was a st john member in secondary sch. The procedures are basically the same but there are sum minor variations. For instance, in malaysia, we usually check the breathing n pulse for 5 secs while the British do this for 10 secs(which i reckon it is a bit 2 long..but i think it is still acceptable lar..).

Hm...Quite a niz chance of refreshing my CPR knowledge but i din really feel excited coz i had done this (on the manikin..not real patients) for many times in sec sch. However, i really njoyed doing this during the trainings n competitions. I like to b in the team~~~

Team GC 02, I miss u! :)
