A first aid organization based in the United Kingdom, St. John Ambulance (SJA), recently published a very creative video on how to do infant CPR. The agency featured some puppets like the ones in Sesame Street who are singing a very catchy tune for a nursery rhyme. It is gaining a lot of hits from people all over the world as it spreads awareness to parents on how to handle the said issue.
It could be nerve-wracking for any parent to see their child stop breathing, which is why learning how to do infant CPR is a must. SJA's two-minute video has puppets from different nursery rhyme characters like Jack and Jill and Humpy Dumpy -- just to name a few. On the video, the puppets are teaching parents the step-by-step process on what they should do once this kind of emergency happens.
The Mirror UK reported that one out of four parents have no clue on how they would go about doing CPR soon as their baby stops breathing. This video comes in handy, as it would save a baby's life.
The lyrics of the song are so catchy that it could easily be remembered. The organization's official website promotes the video with an equally catchy ad saying, "Learn the song, in case things go wrong."
One of the staff of SJA, Sue Killen said that among the biggest hindrances that parents have in learning CPR is the fear factor thinking that it is hard. It is their goal to eliminate that fear and reassure that anyone could do it even if they are not someone trained in the medical field. Killen also encouraged everyone to share the video saying, "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."
This is important because no one can really tell when the ambulance or 911 would arrive after you gave them a call. It is best that you know this first aid instead of panicking and doing nothing to save a child.
