In order to popularize the knowledge of teachers and students' self-rescue in emergency, enhance students' self-protection consciousness, and promote students' physical and mental health development, on 22nd March, the Senior High Department invited experts from the Municipal Hospital to our school to carry out adolescent health education and cardiopulmonary resuscitation emergency rescue training.
In attendance were Principal Assistant Xu Zuitai of the Senior High Department and all teachers and students of Grade 10. Deputy Director Xu Haihong of the Senior High Department presided over the event.
Specifically, Liu Yan, head nurse of the Municipal Hospital, gave a lecture on drowning prevention. Afterwards, Sun Aijiao, Director of the Department of Cardiology, delivered a lecture on adolescent health education and cardiopulmonary resuscitation for teachers and students in Grade 10. Later on, she led experts from the Municipal Hospital to proceed on-site CPR training for teachers and students. On the one hand, the experts repeatedly demonstrated the correct steps, posture, position, strength, and frequency so that each student could master the skills of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. On the other hand, the experts showcased the operation of cardiac resuscitation for the ‘simulated human’, including determining whether there is loss of consciousness and whether there is spontaneous breathing. Also, they demonstrated how to perform cardiac compression outside the chest, clean foreign body in the mouth, open the airway and artificial respiration, after which the students carried out the on-site operation. Evidently, through theoretical explanation and practical exercise, everyone mastered the knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation emergency rescue, improved the on-site rescue ability to deal with emergencies, and added a protective layer for the health and safety of themselves and people around them.
In summary, Anqing Foreign Language School’s Senior High Department attaches great importance to life education and this kind of activity is organized every school year in Grade 10. More noticeably, the training has achieved the desired effect.
