A basic knowledge of first aid could “save a lot more people’s lives” according to a paramedic instructor.
“If they had basic knowledge on how to stop bleeding, how to do chest compression for cardiac arrest, how to call for help and how to try and reassure someone, it would help save a lot more people’s lives and also reduce the amount of suffering that people have in the community,” Nate Puckeridge, Paramedic Instructor, Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) told Gulf News.
