Blended Standard First Aid With CPR & AED Level C Training In North York

Standard First Aid and CPR Level C training can make a critical difference in emergencies, empowering individuals to act swiftly when someone collapses unexpectedly. Panic often arises when bystanders are unsure how to respond, but first aid, CPR, and AED training provide the essential skills to handle such situations effectively. In North York, F.A.S.T. Rescue offers a Blended Standard First Aid With CPR & AED Level C Training program, combining the convenience of online learning with hands-on experience to ensure participants are fully prepared for real-life emergencies.

What is Blended Standard First Aid?

Blended learning combines online instruction with in-person practical sessions, providing an effective and flexible approach to learning. In the Blended Standard First Aid course, participants complete part of the theoretical portion online at their own pace and then attend a hands-on in-class session for practical skills.

This model works well because it allows busy individuals to learn at their convenience while still gaining crucial hands-on experience. You don’t have to sacrifice effectiveness for convenience—blended learning offers the perfect balance.

Understanding CPR and AED Level C Training

CPR Level C focuses on techniques for saving lives in a wide variety of emergencies. It covers performing CPR on adults, children, and infants, addressing conscious and unconscious choking, and how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED) properly.

The AED is a device designed to restore a normal heart rhythm in people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It’s simple enough for anyone to use, and having CPR combined with AED training increases the chances of survival exponentially.

Course Details for Blended Standard First Aid

The course is divided into two main parts:

Online Learning: Participants begin with self-paced online modules covering essential first-aid knowledge.

In-Class Training: After completing the online portion, participants attend a practical, hands-on session where they practice skills like bandaging, CPR, and using an AED.

The entire course typically takes 8-16 hours to complete, with online learning often taking less time for quick learners. Upon completion, you receive certification, which is valid for three years.

The Online Learning Component

The online section of the course is perfect for those who want flexibility. You can log in, watch instructional videos, read material, and complete quizzes at your own pace. This makes it easier to balance work, family, and learning.

Topics in the online modules include:

How to handle different types of injuries

How to assess emergencies

Basics of CPR and AED

In-Class Practical Training

While the online section is important, nothing beats hands-on practice. The in-class portion allows participants to practice bandaging, performing CPR, and using an AED on realistic dummies. Simulations of real-life emergencies help prepare students for the unexpected, and the supportive environment allows for plenty of feedback and questions.

Certification and Validity

After completing the course, participants receive a First Aid, CPR, and AED certification, valid for three years. If you want to keep your skills sharp, recertification options are available before the certificate expires.

Been obsessing over SM 1 Dr. Robotnik

Anyway, another "what if?" For you all, what if Stone got hurt on a mission/whatever you'd like to imagine and so did Robotnik (not as much) and now Stone has to go on like bed rest or something similar, only for Robbink to realize how in love he is with Stone after almost losing him/being far away from him?

Well, you don't have to imagine because I'm drawing it :] Like my first post, I'll follow this one up with a comic!

*Crowley is learning CPR on a test dummy*  Aziraphale: So, assessing the situation. Are they breathing?  Crowley: No, Aziraphale. They are not breathing. And they have no arms or legs.  Aziraphale: No, that’s not part of it—  Crowley:  Where are they? You know what? If we come across somebody with no arms or legs do we bother resuscitating them? I mean, what kind of quality of life do we have there?  Maggie: I would want to live with no legs.  Crowley: How about no arms? No arms or legs is basically how you exist right now. You don’t do anything.  Aziraphale: All right, well, let's get back to it. ‘Cause you’re losing him.  Crowley: *pumps frantically*  Aziraphale: Okay, too fast. You need to pump at a pace of 100 beats per minute.  Crowley: Okay, that’s uh, hard to keep track. How many is that per hour?  Nina: How’s that gonna help you?  Crowley: I will divide and then count to it.  Nina: Right.  Maggie: Okay. Well, a good trick is to pump to the tune of ‘Staying Alive’ by the Bee Gees. Do you know that song?  Crowley: Yes, yes I do. I love that song. *clears throat, begins to sing* First I was afraid, I was petrified.

i do eventually want to get retrained with CPR and basic first aid because i think it's good practice to keep up with that training and also being in the classroom you never know what can happen with students so to have refreshed training in case of emergencies feels prudent

If you're following the news, you're scared. Or you should be. Things are getting worse, not better. And they wont stop with the most marginalized of us; if you're not rich, you're nothing to them except labor.

I've been worried about current events, world news, and continental politics for a while now; at least 1 year. That's when I started packing my Go-Bags. It occurs to me now that my skills as a veteran would be useful for other LGBTQIAS2+, so I've decided to tell you what I deemed necessary in an emergency Bug Out Bag. See below.

It's not hard to build one out of pallets and a wheelbarrow wheel. Just use two long 1x1s to run from your hands to the wheel in a triangle, screw some spacers along the way back, and put an axle through the point of the v. If someone wants pictures I can get them. I am opening up my asks for this purpose.

I don't see enough people talking about this, and certainly not enough men. Women are significantly more likely to die in a medical emergency. Simply because people are too afraid or uncomfortable to expose a woman to begin CPR, or touch a woman to render aid. And medical training tools only enforce this bias. Your CPR mannequins are male. Your Simulaids sucking chest wound prosthetics are male. Most victims in any first aid practical exercise that requires exposing the chest are going to be male. We need to do more to combat gender bias in first aid.

*This does not just extend to binary women and men. This obviously can extend to trans and nonbinary individuals. Anyone a layperson perceives as feminine is more likely to be denied the immediate help they require.

I... listen, I get tuning out during work meetings or stupid trainings, playing on your phone when they put on a video that's more inspirational than informative or w/e. I do. But.... idk, something about my coworkers being on their phones throughout a CPR and first aid training, proceeding to perform bad, incorrect CPR on the mannequin, and getting a certificate stating their competence in performing lifesaving actions to be filed with other paperwork signifying that they meet state requirements to work in a classroom with infants and young children.... does not sit well with me.

Defibrillation

Defibrillation involves delivering an electric shock to the heart to restore a normal rhythm. As it can often take some time to get a defibrillator, you should start with CPR first and then use a defibrillator when it is available. Most AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) will advise you when to continue with CPR after a shock has been delivered.

Most public places will have a defibrillator available — schools, airports etc are required by law to have them, and most high streets have one close by. If there are bystanders around you, ask them to fetch the defibrillator while you begin CPR. 

When the defibrillator arrives, you do not need to remove jewellery. Doing so delays the shock and can lead to treatment not being given in time. However, bras should be removed because the pads of the defibrillator need to be in full contact with skin. You can, however, lay the bra back over the person after the pads have been placed to preserve dignity. 

To use a defibrillator/AED:

Turn on the defibrillator and follow the voice prompts for instructions. 

Apply the pads as instructed: place one on the upper right chest below the collarbone and the other on the lower left side below the armpit. Use the provided diagrams/instructions for guidance.

Let the AED carry out the analysis — ensure that no one is touching the casualty while this is happening. 

Deliver the shock if advised (on a semi-automatic defib) or (on a fully automatic defib) let the shock be carried out itself. 

Resume CPR — perform compressions immediately, until the AED reassesses or until the ambulance arrives. 

CPR and defibrillation are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they work together as part of the “Chain of Survival”, which aims to maximise survival changes. This sequence includes:

Early recognition and calling for help.

Immediately starting CPR.

Defibrillation as soon as possible to reset the heart’s rhythm.

Further care by emergency responders.

CPR keeps oxygenated blood flowing around the body, to the brain especially, while the AED assesses and delivers a shock to restart the heart’s rhythm. The sooner these are performed, the more likely the casualty is to survive and the lower the chances of complications.

Full disclosure: as some of you may already know by following my posts, I’m diagnosed with ASD1 (DSM-5). Please keep kindness and love in your minds and hearts that Autism Spectrum Disorder is, indeed, a spectrum. How ASD1 is expressed in my brain may be different than another person with ASD on any of the three levels.

With that being said, I have the HYPER-empathetic ASD, where it’s difficult for me to even see people getting hurt because I can physically FEEL that pain. My senses are usually dialed up to their max, which has caused lots of sensory processing difficulties.

‼️ ⚠️ Trigger warning for blood and injury ⚠️‼️

So imagine me right now, doing required leadership trainings where I am completing the full First Aid/CPR/AED courses, watching videos of people getting impaled through their eyes, hands, bodies, and leaking blood everywhere. Writing about it and seeing fictional cartoons is a LOT different; I can actually separate that pretty well. When it’s movies with real actors, that’s when I start to get queasy.

Yes, I know they’re fake. These people are actors. But damn….I’m still pale. These trainings are important to saving lives, but I sure as hell wanna vomit my guts out right about now. 🤢

…anyone got any cute duck photos? 🦆
