“Good videos”

“On the whole the course was well written, though rather sterile (especially the videos). I have done many many first practical aid courses. The most significant thing that I learned on this online course was in relation to CPR: if you have completed online training but not practical training then you absolutely must not give rescue breaths to an adult during CPR! In children, for whom rescue breaths have an even greater effect on their chance of survival, and even if you are confident to give rescue breaths, you still must absolutely not give rescue breaths unless told to do so by emergency services/NHS111. In fact, an assessment question makes it clear that, for CPR on a child, you should first get advice from emergency services/NHS111 BEFORE starting CPR. I am astounded by the strong emphasis within this course of not providing rescue breaths as it seems contraindicatory to advice given to general public by many UK first aid and resuscitation bodies. I worry that people will continue to be put off trying to save someone's life due to fear of legislation rather than due to not feeling confident to try. There are a couple of spelling (typo) errors. Look out for them in the assessment!”

Hello, thank you for your review and feedback! It's important that the rescue breaths are only given by someone who has attended a practical and certificated training course. If you have not received practical training, then you should only attempt the chest compressions. If you can't carry on with the rescue breaths or aren't appropriately trained to give them, then continue with the chest compressions until the ambulance arrives. Doing this is better than doing nothing and may save the casualty's life. The emphasis on not giving rescue breaths applies if the individual has not had first aid training or isn't confident in their skills, it's important that we get this message across. If they have had practical training and are confident than they should certainly do so, as is also reiterated. We state the importance of giving children CPR with rescue breaths if they have a cardiac arrest (as this is most likely due to a respiratory failure). If they haven't had practical training in doing so, they will need to call the emergency services to get advice on the best course of action to take in the specific circumstances. Because these circumstances vary, we cannot say in the course 'you must give them rescue breaths in all instances', it wouldn't be appropriate or correct for us to do so. The NHS also emphasise the distinction between giving hands-only CPR and CPR with rescue breaths here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/first-aid/cpr/ and our course has also been checked through by several specialists to ensure this information is correct .I hope this helps, but if you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to get in touch directly!
