    I wonder if they'll update it with the new social distancing requirements?

        I think he means how to perform CPR from a distance of 1.5 metres.

    Cant wait to share the CPR Dummy. BYO antibacterial wipes.
    BYO Covid 19

    • Chef Freeman on 30/03/2020 - 14:06

      Yeah, I can't wait for covid 19 to infect me through my computer

        I can't wait to tea bag my computer.

        • Switchblade88 on 30/03/2020 - 14:51

          1. Open loop cooling

          2. Run Crysis

          3. Insert teabag

    Only the online component is free (and the practical is usually the important bit). How is it any different from the freely available CPR videos out there e.g. the ones even linked on the Poolwerx page?

  • RichieVn on 30/03/2020 - 10:36

    do we get a certificate at the end ?

    • blerk on 30/03/2020 - 10:44

      Without the practical component it would be useless for any workplace requirements.

      • RichieVn on 30/03/2020 - 11:16

        how much to add the practical component then?

        • blerk on 30/03/2020 - 15:14

          20% off an unknown value but face-to-face stuff would be unlikely to proceed in these turbulent times.

  • ethan16 on 30/03/2020 - 10:45

    No certificate unless you do the practical as well

        Exactly! Only a 1 of 3 success rate but certainly worth learning CPR.

        Edit: When paramedics attend and hook up their machine, you can actually see that CPR is keeping someone alive by beating their heart for them.

      • syme321 on 01/04/2020 - 10:13

        … but not Bohemian Rhapsody :D

    • abacus on 30/03/2020 - 11:36

      The rate of compressions should be the same as the beats of those songs.

  • 87percent on 30/03/2020 - 11:33

    I was watching a video of doctors and they were mentioning that CPR, if done correctly, is brutal on the patient

    • abacus on 30/03/2020 - 11:37

      Better to stay alive and have a few broken ribs.

    • FlyingKanga on 30/03/2020 - 13:36

      I feel like I don't have the strength to do it with enough pressure that their ribs will break. Or are ribs really easy to break?

      • diazepam on 31/03/2020 - 01:06

        If you do it properly you’re supposed to be shoulders over your wrists, putting the entire weight of your torso / upper body into the patient’s chest. I’m fairly sure guidelines say it’s 1/3 the depth of the chest wall you should be pushing. And you’re doing that 100x a min (I think current guidelines is a little slower than that).

        At a general hospital, your general patient is old and frail. CPR will almost invariably break many ribs. Even in someone who is otherwise fit and healthy, I’ve seen some (generally non-displaced) rib fractures too.

        • spaceflight on 01/04/2020 - 11:05

          it’s 1/3 the depth of the chest wall you should be pushing

          It's 5cm

    • spaceflight on 01/04/2020 - 11:06

      About 30% of people end up with broken ribs or sternum. It's much higher in the elderly.

      • dm01 on 01/04/2020 - 11:10

        Nah the sternum is in the same place, even in old people.

    This is good offer thanks, but as mentioned you need the Prac Assesment to validate the course for employment etc.

    Next CPR practice in Sydney is June

  • sagrules on 30/03/2020 - 17:53

    is this similar to refresher?

    With new social distancing in place, we may need to practice doing cpr Mr Bean style

    Kinda useless without the cert :/

      You don't need the cert to know how to do CPR and have the potential to save a life.

    • dm01 on 01/04/2020 - 14:42

      Just flash your cert. and watch 'em come back to life, hey?
