The reason I wanted to take this training is that I don't want to face a situation where I become paralyzed by not knowing what to do or how to be of help. As the instructor wisely pointed out,
"It's better to make a mistake than to do nothing at all."
This thought has truly resonated with me.
Throughout the course, I learned several crucial skills that can be vital in an emergency. Being able to check vital signs is fundamental, and it's the first step in being able to assist someone in distress. Creating an open airway is also critical to ensure that the person is getting enough oxygen.
One of the most significant lessons was learning how to place an unconscious person in a stable side position. This is a crucial action to ensure the person's safety and comfort while avoiding potential complications.
Lastly, being able to perform CPR is one of the most valuable skills one can have. Knowing how to intervene quickly and effectively when someone's life is in danger can make a real difference and save lives.
I now feel more confident and prepared to face emergency situations, and I will remember the instructor's advice that sometimes the most important thing is to take action,
even if it means making mistakes, as it can be the difference between life and death.
