I've been meaning to write up a crib sheet for a while anyway, so this would be a good incentive.</p> <p>If people are keen for a certificate, however, it'll have to be something official I'm afraid! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10867#post-120910 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 17:18:37 +0000 Roibeard 120910@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Darkerside - that explains it, I'm just a HSE first aider.</p> <p>@Cyclingmollie - our trainer worked for the railways, similarly "experienced" beyond what I encounter in the office!</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10867#post-120906 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 17:08:53 +0000 Cyclingmollie 120906@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was workplace first aid officer for nine years; originally taught by an ex miner. He had seen everything and made my experiences seem pretty tame - I dealt with cuts and grazes, a knee dislocation and several seizures. But I would be up for an informal training session if you organised one. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10867#post-120898 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 16:04:48 +0000 Darkerside 120898@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Catastrophic bleeding before airway is the conventional advanced life support (ALS) order, however; if the bleeding is catastophic enough to jump up the DRsABC order then frankly if you haven't already got some serious medical clout on-site then it's a pretty grim situation. I'd suggest ignoring it, as you'll do far more good in the vast majority of circumstances attempting to sort out A(irway) and B(reathing). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10867#post-120881 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 13:44:37 +0000 amir 120881@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks for the link Robert - I was struggling to find it </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10867#post-120879 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 13:39:42 +0000 Roibeard 120879@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd be interested - always up for a refresher, and I found the previously posted <a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10727">First Aid for Cyclists</a> informative, even though I thought the priority order (catastrophic bleeding before airway) was unorthodox.</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10867#post-120867 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 12:49:05 +0000 chdot 120867@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Think this has been offered on here before. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10867#post-120866 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 12:44:32 +0000 amir 120866@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Would a first aid course for cyclists be worthwhile arranging from this forum?</p> <p>Who would be interested?</p> <p>Anyone know how to get a course arranged?</p> <p>I'd be happy to organise or just help. </p>
