Twenty three Linderman Elementary third graders recently learned CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) and other life-saving skills from a team of JML Technologist Inc. volunteers. Linderman teacher Darcie Laud and Joyce Lane of JML Technologist lnc., partnered to raise awareness on the importance of CPR in rural areas. During a training held from 1 to 3 p.m. on Nov. 7 students practiced the following life-saving skills on MiniAnne Manikins:
1. Check for the safety of the area.
2. Check for response. (CPR if no response). lf response, still call for help.
3. Call 911 - yell for help.
4. Start 30 compressions, check for response, (none) repeat compressions.
Polson High School PE teacher and HOSA Director Tammy Kelly brought 11 high school students who will be going into the medical field to the event.
The high schoolers each worked with two elementary students in learning the skills. lt was a great opportunity for them and we will be using them in the future. Polson’s school nurse, Jayme Cotter, taught the purpose of and how to use an EPI pen, when someone has an allergic reaction.
Justin Brester, EMR/CPR instructor, brought three members of the Polson Ambulance Team. They taught students techniques for helping adults and children who are choking. In addition, they showed the students an AED (Automated External Defibrillator), its purpose and how it is used.
Students were then taken into the ambulance to view and understand what takes place when a patient is transported to the hospital. They got to practice CPR on a backboard/stretcher and feel the difference between that and flat ground service. The team also answered their questions and explained what their duties are.
After the presentation students were asked if they felt they could provide the life-saving skills they had learned. Their responded yes, and they were really glad they got to learn and were excited to see the inside of an ambulance.
Honorary Certificates of Completion for Hands On Only CPR was given to each student.
