  Corporate first aid courses are more crucial than ever these days. In fact, there has been a transition in how most companies address managerial health and safety in recent times. Employee well-being has become a focal point for professional development and training. Many companies have now realised the significance of investing in their employees to achieve workplace safety. And one vital area where we see this is first aid training .

  West Coast First Aid Training have continued to provide training and re-qualification services throughout this uncertain period and we continue to do so. We have had to make   some changes to the way we deliver our face to face first aid training to accommodate the required public health guidelines on social distancing. The changes we have made include, but are not limited to: (1) We have reduced, as much as possible, the time spent in the classroom. (2) Were possible we conduct training outside. (3) All the required theory assessments are included in our online training, to be completed prior to attending your practical face to face assessment. (4) We screen all students prior to attending class with non contact infrared digital thermometers. Should a student return a forehead temperature of 37.5 deg C or higher, or, should your response be yes to any of the below questions, you will not be admitted to the class and will need to reschedule your training.

  The ResQPOD ®   impedance threshold device (ITD) is a simple, non-invasive device that delivers intrathoracic pressure regulation (IPR) therapy during basic or advanced life support CPR to improve perfusion. The ResQPOD ITD lowers intrathoracic pressure during the recoil phase of CPR by selectively restricting unnecessary airflow into the chest. This vacuum increases preload, lowers intracranial pressure (ICP), and improves blood flow to the brain and vital organs. Improved Outcomes Studies have shown that when combined with high-quality CPR, the ResQPOD ITD: •Doubles blood flow to the heart 1 •Increases blood flow to the brain by 50% 2 •Increases survival from cardiac arrest by 25% or more 3  • • 1 Langhelle A, et al.  Resuscitation.  2002;52:39-48. 2 Lurie KG, et al.  Chest.  1998;113(4):1084-1090. 3 Yannopoulos D, et al.  Resuscitation.  2015;94:106-113.
