St John's in schools

Today at school we had 2 ladies come in and there names were Heather and Denise and they are from St Johns and they told us what the DRS ABC stands.

Danger check to see if there is any danger around and take a big deep breath and then blow out
Response check to see if they are awake and tap there collarbone 
Send for help tell someone to ring an ambulance 
Airway tilt there head back and push there chin 
Breathing check to see if they are breathing 
CPR (you only do CPR if they are not breathing)


They also told us what to do in a emergency and told us how to put a pressure bandage on so it will stop the bleeding and how to elevate it so the blood won't keep coming out so that would save a lot of your blood and did you know us children have about 3 liters of blood in our body and then if we lose a half liter we are in trouble and we also had to find 10 dangers on the picture 


For a pressure bandage get a cloth and scrunch it up kind off and then hold it there with pressure and then get a bandage and wrap it around the bandage.

After you do that you need to put a sling on but first put your arm on your shoulder and then put the elevate sling on and tie it into a double knot and then you have got a sling this is what it should look like.
