On the 11th of March 2009, Singapore First Aid Training Centre’s Training Director Mr Abdul Rasheed Doad conducted a 15 minute presentation for BNI Renaissance, one of the most established business networking group in Singapore.

During his presentation, Mr Rasheed gave a quick introduction on both Singapore First Aid Training Centre and his own background. But more importantly, the presentation paid more focus to bringing forth the true essence and mission of first aid. It also answers some of the most commonly asked questions about performing first aid and CPR. This presentation is a MUST WATCH for all first aiders, CPR providers, AED trained personnel, healthcare staff, BCLS and ACLS practitioners.

In this post we have attached Part 1 out of 3. Be inspired~!

Singapore First Aid Training Centre was being invited by Eagle Productions to provide professional input for a Malay Health programme on Suria called S.M.L @ Sihat. S.M.L@Sihat is a health magazine that broaches the subject of health in a ‘prevention is better than cure’ approach.

This episode includes a segment on cardiac arrest. It covers the identification, signs and symptoms, CPR and also an introduction to the AED or Automated External Defibrillator. The skit is a guy who was running on the threadmill and suddenly experiences immensed chest pain. He loses balance, falls off the threadmill but is just saved in time from falling by a fellow gym member. At this point, a close up shot shows him looking pale and sweaty, both signs of a heart attack.
