Understanding The Use Of First Aid Training In Mississauga

When we hear about First Aid, it is often associated with serious disasters. It is something you need when someone is bleeding to death or has just stopped breathing.

While it is true that those situations are when you will wish for dear life that someone around knew first aid, those are not the only situations where you might make use for the skills first aid training can grant you.

If you took first aid training in Mississauga, in one of our centers or elsewhere, you already know the use and significance of first aid in our daily lives.

Here are a few benefits of taking free CPR training in Brampton will grant you, let alone a full first aid CPR course. To make a long story short, in addition to being able to help, you also learn to see avoid dangers.

Cardiac Arrest is Not only Reversible – it is Preventable.

The course walks you not just through valuable techniques to help you battle cardiac arrest. It also helps you see it before it happens. What may seem like someone being just a bit pale from exertion will become an apparent first sign of a heart attack or cardiac arrest gearing up to occur. Noticing this allows you to respond proactively, take charge of the situation and possibly prevent it from occurring altogether.

This alone may seem like a blessing to many, and should be sufficient to get you on board with a beginner first aid training in Mississauga.

Minor Burns are Sometimes Not so Minor

A camping trip with the family leads to someone getting burned from spilled firewood or BBQ charcoal. Not an impossible situation, right? Hardly a disaster either, no?

No. When a person is burned, he or she may grab the next beer and get back to the picnic, not noticing the burn is worse than it seems. The burn can fester or get worse if not treated. Knowing first aid will allow you to tell the difference. They may not be in mortal danger, but who knows how much worse it will get if not taken care of?

Last Line of Defence in a Disaster

Finally, when a real disaster does strike you want to be ready. It never feels like it’s going to happen to you. It is always a surprise, and when it happens, there is no greater feeling of regret and helplessness than sitting over a suffering friend, not knowing what to do that would help them get better.

Make sure you’re there for a loved one in need, take a course for first aid training in Mississauga. We have a variety of Red Cross first aid courses for you to choose from in a variety of convenient locations in the area.

4 Reasons You Need CPR Training In Mississauga

Even if you or any of your loved ones are not at risk of sudden cardiac arrest, there are still many reasons to learn CPR and get certified in this life saving technique. And here are just four of them

✯ You never really know when and who will need it.

A medical disaster doesn’t send you an advance notice of when it’s going to occur. Medical conditions may lie dormant for years, decades even, before making themselves known. And when they do, there will be no excuses, no time to rethink things, and no way to reverse the irreversible. Besides, cardiac arrest may occur as a result of an accident, such as drowning or a car crash. You don’t need to be a professional stunt driver to be in the risk zone of such occurrences. Being ready is the only one way to be ready.

✯ A CPR trained society is generally safer.

That’s why we offer CPR training in Mississauga and other locations across the GTA. It doesn’t have to be you or a member of your family. Cardiac arrest can happen to someone at work or on the street. The more people are CPR trained, the more chances of the cardiac arrest victim to come out of the ordeal alive.

✯ 911 will respond, the paramedics will arrive, but it will take time.

Time the victim may not have. While it is true that only a professional medic can get someone out of some situations, you cannot just sit there and wait. This may result in them arriving too late. Keeping the person whose heart had just stopped alive is the least you can do in the meantime.

✯ It’s really, really simple.

Most people don’t know how simple it is to perform cardiovascular resuscitation. You have to take CPR training in Mississauga to be able to perform it, but the procedure itself – once you know it – is so simple anyone can do it. And no, mouth to mouth is not necessary. Hands-only CPR is good enough in most cases. Those are only a few reasons why we think everyone should have a Red Cross first aid training in Mississauga or in one of our other locations in the GTA. Keeping safe is a collective effort, and we are here to give you the tools and knowledge to make a better, safer society. Help us help you to be there for others.

Knowing CPR Gives you the Confidence to Save Lives

First of all, it’s normal to be afraid when you get hit by a disaster.

People naturally feel comfortable in their routine non changing environments, but when an emergency occurs, we tend to get panicked. Panic by itself is a normal human “fight or flight” reaction and there is nothing wrong with it.

It can however lead to two harmful things:

  • It can prevent you from assisting to those in need during an emergency.
  • It can create unnecessary distraction to other people who want to help.

How Not to Panic in an Emergency?

Of course if you are trained in CPR and First Aid as a healthcare professional, you will be used to responding with calculated calm to an emergency. Or if you are a policeman or a firefighter, got some first aid training.

While there is some chance that during an emergency there might be a police officer or a trained paramedic nearby, this is still unlikely and you are probably going to have to wait for help to arrive after you call 911.

This is why many workplaces encourage or even demand their employees to get basic CPR and First Aid training. Places like Credit Valley Hospital, Trillium Health Partners, Pinewood Medical Centre and some high schools in the Mississauga and Brampton areas routinely direct their workers to get CPR training and certification.

One of the places to go for CPR training in Mississauga is our own Coast to Coast facility of course, covering all levels of proficiency and types of training.

Getting a CPR training course can make a real difference for someone’s life, giving you the tools and confidence needed to deal with an emergency.

How can CPR Training Help you Gain Confidence?

Knowledge is Everything. When you know what to do and how to do it, the emergency will be no longer a frightening mess for you, but rather a certain scheme you have to follow in order to gain the desired result.

Timing is Crucial. In addition to lack of knowledge, what terrifies people a lot is the limited time frame in which you can actually help a person during an emergency. CPR training will teach you not only how, but when to assist in case of an emergency, and to do it fast.

Repetition for Perfection. Your CPR certificate is valid for a limited time period (3 years). After it expires, you’ll have to perform an additional training session (though shorter). That way you will constantly strengthen your confidence, and gain new skills.

Where to Begin?

What are the Basics of First Aid Training?

When people enroll to our first aid training Mississauga, the first thing they want to know, of course, is the content of the training program. We will answer this question by giving you an outline of the most important components of basic first aid training.

But before we do that, it’s also important to clarify that there is no one basic first aid training course that covers all possible scenarios and situations. The course you take should really depend on your situation, i.e. where and in what scenarios you might need to practice first aid. There are, for example, several specialized first aid programs, such as First Aid at Home, Workplace First Aid, Swimming & Water Safety, and more.

First aid situations vary, and so do first aid training courses. At the same time, there are two options for basic first aid training we offer that cover the essentials, and can make you generally prepared for a wide array of scenarios.

  1. Emergency First Aid CPR/AED

The Emergency Course is a basic must-have training on how to act in extreme situations, at least until the paramedic team arrives. It teaches CPR for home and workplace situations, and gives you the skills necessary to recognize, prevent and respond to different emergencies in adults.

This course covers topics such as

  • The Red Cross
  • Emergency Medical Services
  • Check, Call, Care principle
  • Breathing and Circulation Emergencies
  • Respiratory and Cardiac Arrest
  • Wound Care Practices
  1. Standard First Aid CPR/AED

The Standard First Aid training is a more in-depth course that takes two days and provides additional knowledge on how to respond to a wider variety of first aid situations.

In addition to the topics covered in the first course, this one also gives information on:

  • Head and Spine Injuries
  • Bone, Muscle, and Joint Injuries
  • Sudden Medical Emergencies
  • Environmental Emergencies
  • Poisons

Both of those Mississauga first aid training courses grant a certificate which will be valid for three years.

As we mentioned above, there is much more to first aid than those two basic courses, which should come as no surprise as a paramedic’s training takes several years. If you expect to work in a high risk environment, such as construction, mountain tourism, sailing, or any other specialized field with its own set of highly specific dangers, it might be better to go farther and take a more in-depth course.

Still, our basic Mississauga first aid training courses are far, far better than nothing, which some of our students can testify to. When a co-worker, friend or loved one is suffering from cardiac arrest, head injury, or is otherwise facing grave danger, knowing the basic skills might already be enough to keep them alive. Not knowing those skills might leave them to face it alone.

If you are of the same opinion and agree that having those basic first aid skills is a must, call us now and enroll to our one, or two day programs.

We’re here for you to help you be there for others.
