HLTAID009 - Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Description

This course describes the skills and knowledge required to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

This course applies to all persons who may be required to provide CPR, in a range of situations, including community and workplace settings.

This course provides the practical skills and the theory required to provide both a CPR response, and defibrillation to someone in cardiac arrest.

CPR Course covers:

  • Recognise and assess an emergency situation.
  • Ensure safety for self, bystanders, and casualty.
  • Assess the casualty and recognise the need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
  • Seek assistance from emergency services.
  • Perform CPR in accordance with the ARC guidelines.
  • Display respectful behaviour towards casualty.
  • Operate an automated external defibrillator (AED) according to manufacturers’ instructions.
  • Accurately convey incident details to emergency services.
  • Report details of incident in line with appropriate workplace or site procedures.
  • Maintain privacy and confidentiality of information in line with statutory or organisational policies.
  • Recognise the possible psychological impacts on self and other rescuers and seek help when required.
  • Contribute to a review of the first aid response as required.

Purpose

Cardiac arrest can happen anywhere, and the actions taken in the first few minutes are critical. This course gives you the skills and confidence to perform CPR and operate an AED in accordance with Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines, keeping a casualty alive until emergency services arrive.

The target learner for this course includes those who require CPR competency for work or leisure activities. This includes, but is not limited to, workers required to hold a current CPR qualification as part of their role or industry obligations, volunteers in community and sporting organisations, parents and carers, and individuals seeking a nationally recognised CPR qualification for personal or professional development.

– Applicants under 18 years of age are not eligible to enrol in Highlands Training Solutions courses.

– Prospective learners must possess basic digital skills and have access to a computer, tablet or smartphone with internet access to complete the online learning and knowledge assessment. Prior to commencing training, Highlands Training Solutions will undertake a Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital (LLND) skills review to determine whether the course is suitable for the prospective learner and to identify any reasonable support that may assist successful participation.

– Prospective learners must have sufficient language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills to access the online learning, read and interpret first aid information, complete assessment activities and communicate effectively in simulated emergency situations. Where the LLND skills review identifies that additional support may be required, Highlands Training Solutions will discuss reasonable support strategies with the learner, provided these do not compromise the requirements of the training product.
