Mr den Otter was dead! He had to be revived in the meeting room by a teacher preforming CPR.

I’m just kidding; we had a great time learning all the tricks of the trade for CPR (1). When the whole class was thoroughly informed about what to do and how to act around clinically dead people we started testing each other, one of us acted dead while the other went through the CPR tactics. Before we did the actions of CPR we had to see if they were unconscious or not. Some of the things we did was ask them to open their eyes and ‘squeeze my hand’.

Then we got to practice on the dummy! We had trained all of 20 mins for this and now it was time to revive him. We tried all the responses and practised CPR on his chest and tilting the head back for the breathings. My partner Montana was GREAT at CPR and timed the chest resuscitations perfectly! Over all a great time, awesome and fun learning time at CPR class!
