As a participant, you will be required to bend over and apply pressure to a CPR mannequin.

The following activities are part of the course, all participants will be wearing non-latex gloves and will choose a partner for the following activities:

• To simulate an unconscious person everyone will lie on the floor and turn over their partner from lying on their stomachs to a face up position, and then turn them over to the recovery position.

• Open their partner’s mouth and look into the mouth to search for an object that may cause choking.

• Touch their partners neck and check for a pulse

• Choose a partner to wrap their arms around the mid-section and simulate abdominal thrusts.

• Choose a partner to slightly bend over and lightly pat their partner between the shoulder blades to simulate black blows.
