Hello first aid friends! Sorry for the lapse in the blog posts. It has been awhile I must admit! Nevertheless we have something new up our sleeves and for this September the 11th, we are proud to announce our One Heart Mass CPR Event 2010. Registration is free for everyone! Visit www.masscpr.org for more information! See you there!

Our 3rd installment of My True Hero will be held tomorrow at the Singapore Expo, Conference Halls A-F. See you tomorrow! It’s going to be a fun-filled event!!!

Do you have a difficulty facing large crowds?

Did you know that this is one of the BIGGEST obstacle people face when they encounter an emergency situation?

Think about it: You see a road traffic accident, cars stopped by the side, people standing around… yet how many of them are actually helping? Many people hesitate to be the first to step forward in such a situation because stepping in front of a crowd makes one extremely vulnerable. Especially in a life and death situation, no one wants to be the centre of attention!

Unfortunately, this causes delay in helping the casualty and many times lives are lost because people hesitate to help.

The question is, do YOU encounter this as well? If yes, this is what you can do:

EMERGENCY TIP:

1. Take a DEEP BREATHE and assure yourself that you can do this.
2. Immediately, STEP FORWARD and at the same time call for help – “Someone please assist me!”. When someone comes to you, get him or her to call the ambulance.
3. Quickly ACCESS what needs to be done at once first.
4. Stay with the casualty until the AMBULANCE arrives.

If you would like to address your personal difficulty of facing crowds, I recommend that you attend the My True Hero program. During the program, we cover activities that involve facing crowds and stepping forward to help despite large crowds. Check out what participants are saying about the program here <<.

I hope this tip is useful for you. Do keep those questions coming in.

Thank you and have a great day!

Your Friend,
Rasheed

The first PUBLIC ACCESS DEFIBRILLATOR in Singapore’s HDB Estate was launched on the 17th January 2010 at Toa Payoh Lorong 7 Block 20. The very first publicily available AED was mounted in a white wall cabinet outside Blk 20′s lift lobby to allow members of the public to be able to access to the AED.

Security will not be an issue as several measures has been taken. For instance, the wall cabinet can only be opened by breaking a small glass to gain access to the key, which then can open the cabinet. There is also a loud alarm which will sound when the cabinet is opened, alerting the public that the AED has been accessed to.

This is a true milestone in Singapore and in the history of Public Access AED. Singapore First Aid Training Centre is also involved in this project – by training volunteers and staff to be fully equipped with the skills of performing CPR and using the AED.

This picture gallery includes an introduction by the Chairman of the AHE, Mr Wan as well as a short presentation by VIP for this event was MP Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC Mdm Josephine Teo during this inaugural launch of the public access defibrillator AED in HDB estate.
