§Study guidance: First aid and fire

First aid and firefighting are practical subjects that must be in your body. Theory gives understanding, but it is repetition and practical exercise in the course that enables you to act calmly when it matters. Read therefore with the goal of being able to act — not just knowing.

You must be able to do this

• 01Recognise cardiac arrest and act according to the chain of survival.
• 02Perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation and operate an automated external defibrillator.
• 03Follow first aid's four main points in the right order
• 04Lægge en bevidstløs i aflåst sideleje og standse kraftig blødning
• 05Provide a clear calm alarm call to 1-1-2
• 06Know the fire triangle, fire classes and choose the right extinguishing agent

Important concepts

• 01Survival chain
• 02CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)
• 03AED (automated external defibrillator)
• 04Clear airways and locked side bearings
• 05Main points of first aid
• 06The fire triangle and fire classes
• 07Evacuation and emergency exits

Good habits and preparation

Læg mærke til, hvor hjertestartere, brandslukkere, brandtæpper og flugtveje er placeret, der hvor du færdes til daglig — det sparer dyrebare sekunder. Øv handlerækkefølgerne, til de bliver automatiske, og deltag aktivt i den praktiske træning på kurset. Repetér med jævne mellemrum, da færdighederne ellers falmer.

Where can you read more
