Essential equipment for cardiopulmonary resuscitation courses
Le 2021-06-28
It is important to take training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to be able to intervene in the event of respiratory or circulatory arrest of your loved ones or your colleagues. To do this, you must have a minimum of equipment including a pocket mask, a training defibrillator and a dummy.
Training and practice should be performed on a full-size mannequin so that the student can easily spot where to apply the maneuvers when the time comes. This equipment is also used to assess the quality of chest compressions including depth, decompression and rhythm. At Impact Santé+, we sell adult, child and baby mannequins of the Prestan brand. We also note that it will be necessary to purchase additional accessories such as the lungs which are also available from us.
A defibrillator is a device that sends a controlled electric shock into an individual’s heart to bring their heart rate back to normal. This equipment is generally essential during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. These days, there are training defibrillators that can self-trigger and have convenient features to make them easier to handle.
The Prestan model we are selling features pre-connected dual-graphic training pads and a cushion detection system. You can also turn the compression metronome and “Give Breaths” commands on or off, as needed. CPR coaching is also available as a voice prompt and there is even a specific option for training children. Finally, the user is notified when the device’s battery is low.
We offer you a high-quality pocket mask with a hard case that creates a kind of protective barrier between the victim and the rescuer during the intervention. Thus, transfers of saliva or other fluids are limited during rescue maneuvers. This Prestan brand equipment easily finds a place in a medicine cabinet, handbag, satchel or even the glove box of your car. Everyone should have it.
The tourniquet is a lifesaving device intended to stop bleeding and therefore to prevent significant blood loss in the event of serious injuries. We are selling a combat application tourniquet that can be easily applied with one hand. This is also an item that you should always have with you.
These products are therefore essential for those undergoing training in CPR or first aid. However, it would also be a good idea to have them in the workplace, as they can save lives.
