St. John Ambulance, a first aid educational charity in the United Kingdom created a better way of educating parents and child handlers on how to give a baby CPR when the worst case happens that a child stops breathing. Knowing the importance of educating parents with such, they came up with a two-minute video featuring Jack and Jill as well as other nursery rhyme characters demonstrating how to do child CPR which is now available online.
As part of the video, parents are encouraged to immediately call emergency hotlines when a child stops breathing then made sure to do a one-minute CPR first if they are alone with the child. Since songs and visual aids are effective tools in teaching, this video will make it easier for parents to remember the step by step process that they need to do should they come through the same scenario, according to Baby Center.
A research revealed that given a situation when a baby is choked or worst, stop breathing only one out of four parents know how to give immediate relief to the patient. "We know that a major barrier to parents learning is that baby CPR frightens them, so we've removed the fear factor and made it reassuring and as easy as possible to learn," Sue Killen from St. John Ambulance said. "We hope the song will stick in everyone's heads. We're asking everyone to share the video so that all parents, grandparents and carers can learn what to do in those crucial minutes after a baby has stopped breathing."
When it comes to your child's health, you can never allow things to just take place wrongly and later feel sorry about it. But though parents never can tell when an accident might happen, parents can always prepare and be hands on to protecting and saving their precious one thus studying even basic baby CPR is important. She Knows also acknowledge that no matter no matter how much knowledge parents acquire, prevention is still always better than cure
