A man called Steve came into train us how to do first aid and how to save someone’s life. First Steve taught us the DR ABC code. It’s this: Danger
Response (shout, talk, gently shake)
Airway
Breathing
Circulation.
After that he taught us the recovery position and Steve taught us how to get the person into the position and then he told us the numbers to call the ambulance: 999 and 112. Next we were taught if the person was choking we would have to give them a hard pat on the back five times but I already knew that . What I did not know was there was something called the abdominal thrust. Then he taught us how to do CPR which stands for cardio pulmonary resuscitation and I already knew how to do that as well. Then the final part- the defibrillator. There are 2 pads; one for the side and one on the heart. Also the defibrillator can talk! It tests your heart and until the heart works it will keep on shocking you but if your heart still works it does not shock you.
