Learn how to save a life

Thabazimbi – Be prepared! Having the basic knowledge of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and first aid can prove to be invaluable. It is the first step you can take in saving someone’s life.

CPR is a lifesaving technique that aims to keep blood and oxygen flowing through the body when a person’s heart and breathing have stopped. If it is performed within the first six minutes of the heart stopping, it can significantly increase the chances of keeping someone alive until medical help arrives.

Not all emergencies require hospitalisation, but just by having the necessary knowledge for basic first aid can comfort and assist someone in pain. A simple thing like knowing how to correctly apply a bandage or a splint can reduce recovery time and if it is indeed a life threating injury, knowing what to do can be the difference between life and death.

“By having these necessary skills you’re not only equipped with knowledge of what to do in an emergency situation, but also develop the confidence you need to become a life saver rather than a bystander,” said Trauma Rescue first aid instructor Johan Visser.

Trauma Rescue is dedicated to saving lives and can provide you with the knowledge of what to do if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to apply CPR or first aid.
