Being petite or small does not stop someone from saving a life.
During today’s BLS and Heartsaver CPR AED class at HealthForce CPR BLS ACLS PALS AHA Training Center Gainesville, Florida, one student thought she might not be able to compress deep enough on the manikin placed on the table. So we changed the scenario just like in real life when a patient is on the ground.
Once the manikin was placed on the floor, she was able to deliver high-quality compressions reaching the correct depth of 2 inches for adult/child CPR.
Sometimes it’s not about strength,
it’s about technique, positioning, and confidence.
HealthForce CPR BLS ACLS PALS AHA Training Center Gainesville, Florida, we train people of all sizes and backgrounds to respond in emergencies.
Being petite doesn’t mean powerless.
Technique beats size.
Confidence saves lives.❤️
