Learn to save a young life. Parents taught to offer first aid to children
It sometimes happen that a child's life depends on the next actions taken by the parents. Trainings are performed to teach adults how to act and offer first aid to kids.
Future parents are taught what to do in case a child chokes on an object, as well as how to perform a CPR.
The first rule is for parents to remain calm and act fast. Each movement must be precise and calculated.
"I fix him in the required position and keep him like that with my leg, with two hands we keep the mandible, try to maintain the mouth open, so that when the object comes out it will fall on the floor. We gently press our hand in a sliding motion, then we hold the head and change, the next step are five chest compressions" doctor Cornel Ursu said.
If the child loses consciousness a CPR is immediately required.
"First step is to perform five mouth-to-mouth resuscitations, then comes the cardiopulmonary resuscitation" doctor Cornel Ursu explained.
Those who attended the lessons claim that they wish to have knowledge in case a situation arises. Some of them have already passed through unpleasant experience.
"One day my daughter choked on a biscuit and I saw her suffocating, I reacted on instinct, did not know if what I was doing what right. Now I came to learn how to properly act in such cases."
"It is very important to know what to do in dangerous situations, to not panic and not waste my time on the Internet searching salvation."
"It is important to know how to offer first aid in the first minutes, as any moment is crucial."
Such courses are periodically held in Chisinau. A person who wished to attend has to pay 300 lei, while for a couple the fee is of 500 lei.
