Learning Outcomes:
Learning Methods:
Assessment activity 1: Resuscitation
Manage an unconscious breathing casualty.
Manage in line with ARC Guidelines, the unconscious breathing casualty including appropriate positioning to reduce the risk of airway compromise (Recover Position from face down and from laying on their backs)
Perform at least two minutes of uninterrupted CPR on an adult manikin placed on the floor.
Perform at least two minutes of uninterrupted CPR on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the floor. Demonstrating the following techniques:
- Check for potential dangers.
- Check for response and normal breathing.
- Recognise abnormal breathing.
- Send for help.
- Open and clearing of the airway.
- Using correct hand location.
- Using correct compression rate and depth in line with ARC recommended ratio of compressions and ventilation.
- Follow single rescuer procedure.
- Follow the prompts of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to deliver at least one shock.
- Demonstrate a rotation of operators with minimal interruptions to compressions.
- Hand over to emergency services
- Provide an accurate verbal incident report.
- Review the incident and participate in a debrief.
Perform at least two minutes of uninterrupted CPR on an infant manikin placed on a firm surface.
Perform at least two minutes of uninterrupted CPR on an infant resuscitation manikin placed on the floor. Demonstrating the following techniques:
- Check for potential dangers.
- Check for response and normal breathing.
- Recognise abnormal breathing.
- Send for help.
- Open and clearing of the airway.
- Using correct hand location.
- Using correct compression rate and depth in line with ARC recommended ratio of compressions and ventilation.
- Follow single rescuer procedure.
Assessment activity 2: Recognize and respond to signs and signals of a person in difficulty.
Identity the characteristics of people in difficulty including:
- Non-Swimmer
- Weak Swimmer
- Injured Swimmer
- Unconscious Swimmer
Respond using an appropriate rescue and action plan
Assessment activity 3: Reach rescue
A non-swimmer is in difficulty 2 meter from safety. Demonstrate a reach rescue using an aid specified by the assessor. Secure the person at a point of safety.
Assessment activity 4: Rope Throw
A person is in difficulty 10-meters from safety. Perform a throwing rescue using an unweighted rope. Secure the person at a point of safety. A time limit of 30 seconds will apply from the start until the person grasps the rope.
Assessment activity 5: Throw Rescue
A person is in difficulty 10-metres from safety. Perform a throwing rescue using a flotation aid. Secure the person at a point of safety.
Assessment activity 6: Wade Rescue
Entre shallow water safely, taking a rescue aid to test the depth. Wade by sliding the feet carefully along the bottom, testing the depth with the reaching aid. When the person is close enough, turn side-on and reach with the aid. When the person has grasped the aid, return safely, avoiding contact until safety is reached.
Assessment activity 7: Timed Tow
An unconscious, breathing person is 50-metres from safety. Enter the water, swim a 50-metre approach, and tow the person 50-metres to safety. The participant will commence the rescue wearing swimwear, trousers and long-sleeved shirt, any of which may be discarded as desired. A time limit of 3 minutes and 15 seconds shall apply from the starting signal until the completion of the tow.
Assessment activity 8: Accompanied Rescue
A weak swimmer is in difficulty 12-metres from safety. With a floatation aid, enter the water as for unknown conditions, wade 5-8-metres, throw the aid to the person, instruct the person on how to use the aid, accompany the person to safety and instruct the person on how to leave the water.
Assessment activity 9: Non-Contact Tow
A week or injured swimmer is in difficulty in deep water 25-metres from safety: Swim to the person, demonstrating appropriate precautions. While returning to safety using an appropriate non-contact tow, demonstrate the method of coping with a struggling person. Land the person using a suitable method.
Assessment activity 10: Spinal Management – Vice Grip
Apply the vice grip for the immobilization of a spinal injury to the neck and then wade with the casualty for 5-metres. Summon assistance.
Assessment activity 11: Spinal Management – Extended Arm Roll
Apply an extended arm roll over for the immobilization of a spinal injury to the neck. Summons assistance.
Assessment activity 12: Survival Skills
Dressed in swimwear, trousers, and long-sleeved shirt - float using a hand sculling movement for 1 minute and then tread water for 1 minute. Don a PFD and swim 50-metres, demonstrate the HELP position and climb out.
Assessment activity 13: Recover and Resuscitate
Recover a person simulating unconsciousness from approximately 2-metres depth and tow 10-metres to shallow water or to safety: Assume that it is not possible to remove the person from the water until assistance arrives. Assess for respiratory failure and demonstrate rescue breathing for 1 minute. Once assistance arrives, land the person, and assess DRSABCD. Assume that signs of life are present and then place them in the recovery position.
Assessment activity 14: Incident report
Accurate completion of a written incident documentation
Assessment activity 15: Scenarios
Demonstrate initiative in effecting a rescue of two people who are in difficulty up to 15-metres from safety and whose conditions are unrevealed. The Assessor will ensure that up to five rescue aids will be available. The Assessor will brief the subjects on the roles to be simulated from the following
- -non-swimmer,
- weak swimmer,
- injured swimmer,
- person with a suspected spinal injury,
- unconscious person.
On completion of this task, the participant will participate in a debrief
Assessment activity 16: Theory Assessment
Multiple choice theory assessment
