Bashishay LECTURES @ work in AFRICA

This is just to share to everyone the summary of the CPR and Rescue Breathing that I made to simply understand the techniques and sequence in order to provide the best possible emergency rescue in an unconscious victim whom can be a family member , relative ,a friend , neighbor or just a bystander.

When we get into an emergency situation where you don't know what to do is scary for an individual. Good thing that I had my BLS training from Rescue Academy as per 2010 American Heart Association last January 2013.

A registered nurse and emergency medical technician by profession . I've been teaching employees whom submitted themselves to learn and become first aiders here at my workplace . It is overwhelming that in the simplest modest way I have shared my knowledge and experiences in terms of emergency rescue.
