CORPORATE FIRST AID AND CPR TRAINING DAY
EDIFECS - Healthcare Software Development Internal Newsletter 7/26/2016 By Anne Halloran, Communications HOPEFULLY NO HEART ATTACK, ALLERGIC REACTION OR BLOCKED AIRWAY INTERRUPTS YOUR WORK DAY AT EDIFECS. IF SUCH AN INCIDENT OR ACCIDENT SHOULD OCCUR, THOUGH, TAKE HEART. MANY OF YOUR COLLEAGUES NOW UNDERSTAND WHAT TO DO IN THE PRECIOUS MOMENTS BETWEEN THAT INITIAL CALL TO 911 AND THE ARRIVAL OF THE PARAMEDICS. TWENTY-EIGHT EDIFECS ASSOCIATES ATTENDED A FOUR-HOUR TRAINING LED BY INSTRUCTOR FARLEY KAUTZ ON A RECENT FRIDAY IN THE TWILIGHT BUILDING. AMONG THE SUBJECTS COVERED WERE CPR, GENERAL FIRST-AID AND DE-FIBRILLATION. NWBESTCPR'S CURRICULUM IS DRAWN DIRECTLY FROM THE PROTOCOLS ESTABLISHED BY THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION BUT AS ANY BORED STUDENT KNOWS, IT’S NOT SO MUCH WHAT’S TAUGHT AS WHO’S TEACHING. KAUTZ LEAVENS THE LESSONS WITH WIT, STORIES, PLENTIFUL DRILLS AND EXERCISES PLUS SNAPPY ENGAGEMENT. NWBESTCPR TRAINING OFFERS COURSES BOTH ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES AND ON THE CAMPUSES OF AREA COMPANIES. IT’S COMMON—BUT DANGEROUS—TO ASSUME YOU DON’T NEED EMERGENCY TRAINING IN AN AREA THAT’S RIFE WITH FIRST-RATE HOSPITALS. “YOU'VE GOT THREE MINUTES ONCE A HEART ATTACK OCCURS TO INTERVENE,” KAUTZ SAYS. “SUPPOSE THE PARAMEDICS TAKE SEVEN? NOT JUST SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON RAPID RESPONSE—THERE’S THE QUALITY OF LIFE THE PERSON CAN EXPECT AFTERWARD.” KAUTZ FIRST STARTED TEACHING EMERGENCY SKILLS 20 YEARS AGO WHILE OPERATING AN OUTDOOR ADVENTURE COMPANY IN COLORADO. SINCE THEN HE’S OFFERED THE POPULAR COURSE TO THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. ANJAN DAS WAS AMONG THE EDIFECS PARTICIPANTS. HE PRAISED THE SESSION AND ESPECIALLY APPRECIATED ITS FOCUS UPON CPR. “WE LEARNED THAT TEAM WORK IS CRITICAL. ALSO, THE FOCUS SHOULD BE ON SUSTAINING LIFE, WHICH MEANS KEEPING THE PERSON'S HEART BEATING. THAT’S WHY CPR IS SO ESSENTIAL. LACERATIONS, BROKEN BONES AND OTHER INJURIES DON’T RISE TO THE SAME LEVEL OF IMPORTANCE.” THE PRINCIPLES AND SKILLS ADAPTED IN THE COURSE DON’T JUST APPLY TO THE WORKPLACE. KAUTZ SAYS HE OFTEN HEARS FROM FORMER STUDENTS WITH EXAMPLES OF HOW THEY USED THE TRAINING IN OTHER ENVIRONMENTS. PEOPLE CARRY A GREATER SENSE OF CONFIDENCE ONCE THEY'VE TAKEN EMERGENCY COURSES, HE BELIEVES, ALONG WITH THE VERY PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO PERFORM CPR. “SEATTLE IS WELL-KNOWN FOR POSSESSING ONE OF THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGES OF PEOPLE WITH CPR TRAINING.” AVAILABILITY OF A DEFIBRILLATOR ON THE EDIFECS CAMPUS IS UNUSUAL AND IMPRESSIVE, KAUTZ ADDS. “STATES ARE INCREASINGLY MANDATING THE DEVICES IN OUTPATIENT MEDICAL OFFICES AND DENTAL SETTINGS. MALLS, GOLF COURSES, COMMUNITY CENTERS ARE GAINING THEM IN GREATER NUMBERS. WHILE THE DEFIBRILLATOR IS COMPARATIVELY SIMPLE TO OPERATE MOST PEOPLE DON’T LEARN VERY EASILY WHEN IN A PANIC MODE.” WHILE THIS CLASS FILLED QUICKLY, MORE WILL LIKELY BE SCHEDULED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. OPERATIONS’ TUSHAR PATEL SAYS THE FOCUS ON SAFETY IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY INITIATIVES HIS DEPARTMENT IS ROLLING OUT IN COMING MONTHS. |
