There is a renewed call for bystanders in the UAE who have had CPR training to perform First Aid & CPR in the event that a victim falls ill in a public venue, or if they stop breathing, or have no pulse, until an ambulance arrives. Emergency medicine experts encourage UAE residents to educate themselves in CPR and first aid protocol by attending the numerous First Aid and CPR training courses offered to the public.
Latest updates in First & CPR technique will be explored at the 1st Emergency Medicine Exhibition & Congress from 2-4 June 2014 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre. More than 40 speakers from hospital emergency departments across the UAE will offer their expertise in order to enhance First Aid & CPR training in the country.
“Basic emergency care can often make a difference when someone suddenly becomes sick or injured,” says Ronald Blough, EMT-Paramedic, MS Emergency Services Management; Faculty, Paramedic Program, Higher Colleges of Technology, Dubai, UAE. “Research demonstrates that First Aid provided in the workplace, school, a public setting, and in the home can often be the difference between life and death for those who require emergency care. In the UAE, over the past few years, more First Aid and CPR courses are being offered to the public, through schools, universities, private training companies, and sports clubs. This has greatly improved the public’s awareness with regards to assisting those in need. Parents with children are increasingly aware of the importance of knowing First Aid and CPR.”
