Station Instructions

Skill Practice

Skill: BVM and Chest Compressions

Objectives: Properly perform the entire sequence of 1 & 2 Rescuer CPR with AED. Use the EMT sequence with Scene Size-up, primary assessment, etc as opposed to the BLS for Providers sequence.

Instructions: Have students do several rounds of compressions. Note feedback devices on manikins.

Precautions: DO NOT LECTURE – force your students to repeatedly drill the skill until it becomes second nature. The goal is to create muscle-memory, so repeat the drill multiple times.
