First, it’s different. Second, it’s different than you think. Behind this wisdom of Wilhelm Busch is the realization that life often does not go according to plan. This makes it all the more important to be prepared for the unexpected, such as an accident. For this reason, twelve LIS AG employees have now refreshed their knowledge of how to apply life-saving and health-preserving emergency measures in a first-aid course. For first-aiders, such training is required every two years at the latest.
In the course, which consisted of nine teaching units, the participants trained above all to correctly position injured and shocked persons, to perform a heart-lung resuscitation and Heimlich manoeuvre, and to use an automated external defibrillator.
By the way, such a device also belongs to the first aid equipment of LIS AG. Knowing how to use it correctly is therefore so important because ventricular fibrillation, the most common cause of sudden cardiac death, can only be stopped by electroshock. However, this must be done as quickly as possible. This is because the chances of survival of those affected decrease by around ten percent with every minute that passes without early defibrillation.
Training for the worst-case scenario
