[00:04.58]Task:teach a practical skill to others
[00:08.49]2 b)Listen and check.Were you surprised
[00:12.75]by any of the instructions?
[00:17.13]The most common circumstances in which you
[00:19.69]might have to resuscitate someone is either
[00:22.24]because they've had a heart attack,
[00:24.21]or because they've drowned,
[00:25.94]or had an electric shock
[00:28.01]or maybe because something has fallen on them.
[00:30.97]So the first thing to remember is to approach
[00:34.05]the patient with caution…be aware of possible
[00:37.40]dangers to yourself,like electric cables,
[00:40.83]or falling objects,etc.
[00:43.75]Self-preservation comes first,
[00:45.69]for obvious reasons.
[00:48.20]Before you start trying to resuscitate them,
[00:51.20]you need to check that they're not just asleep,
[00:54.49]so shake them by the shoulders
[00:56.53]and say their name or whatever,
[00:58.28]and see if you can wake them up.
[01:00.89]If they do need resuscitataion,it's either
[01:03.70]because they've stopped breathing,or beacuse
[01:06.02]their heart has stopped beating,but you should
[01:08.57]always deal with the breathing first.
[01:12.38]Oxygen is the number one thing that the body
[01:14.95]needs-four to six minutes without oxygen can
[01:17.73]cause irreparable damage to the brain…
[01:20.06]so that's always the first thing to think about
[01:20.06]
