About Nanaimo First Aid
Course overview
CPR and AED training in Nanaimo First Aid cover cardiovascular emergencies such as cardiac arrest as well as choking emergencies for different age groups, depending on the level of CPR certification taken. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) classes are available in three levels: “A”, “C”, and “HCP”. All levels include basic first aid and automated external defibrillation (AED) training. AEDs are machines that detect heart rhythms and apply shock to the heart through pads placed on the chest. Students who do not want to enrol in the full CPR training course can opt for CPR and AED stand-alone training.
Only the latest guidelines from the American Heart Association for CPR and AED are used in the classes.

Did You Know?
If you or someone else inhales a foreign object…
The five-and-five approach:
- Give the person five back blows. Using the heel of your hand, make five quick thumps between the victim’s shoulder blades.
- Do the Heimlich maneuver. Make a fist and place it slightly above the victim’s navel. Cover it with your other hand and make five inward upward thrusts.
- Repeat until object is dislodged.
Note: If victim’s breathing and circulation do not resume, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately.
