An amicable activity

December 29, 2007

Under our MCI training, Doc C discussed and trained us matters on how to be basic responders in a mass casualty incident- performing CPR, using the portable AED, blood and wound management. We also talked about nosebleed, choking, insects and animal bites management and a lot more.

Those of us at a safe distance watched the televised images like drivers and passengers slowing at a highway accident, stampede, earthquake, typhoon, chemical explosions, fire, bombing that all have taken scores of lives and caused millions and billions of damage, thinking That would have been me, my family, the community. These are some of many concerns. Therefore, everyone should be trained as basic responders to save lives. Someone's life will be directly impacted by your intervention.

I learned a lot from the discussions. From how to treat wounded/ injured victims, who should be prioritized first, first aids, performing CPR with AED and a lot more.

I was able to perform Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation or CPR through a provided dummy. Just for your information, CPR is a technique of basic life support for the purpose of oxygenating the heart and brain until it backs into normal. This is done for those suffering cardiac and respiratory arrest. I also learned that it is necessary to clear first any airway obstructions like the tip of the tongue or a tooth before CPR can be performed. Learning that weren't in my mind. Hmmmm… Where might these important informations be? So I did something this morning I've rarely done. I opened my manual of nursing and started to read.

I'm also amazed with the Automated External Defibrillator or AED. There's an audio and visual instructions from the unit that analyze the rhythm and determine the need for defibrillator. It will let you or  the operator know how to proceed. Unlike any usual Defibrillator, AED is portable. It is really highly needed especially in mass incident.

In order to apply our learnings, we conducted a scenario of an accident. It looks like an actual scene. There are wounded/injured, amputated body parts, crying, asking for help. And we acted as responders.

In summary, it was an unforgettable experience.
