Introduction
Completion of this unit will provide the learner
with the competency for the Basic Lifesaver CPR certification. Written
material does not constitute a CPR course. The certification has
no written test but requires a practical demonstration on a rescui-manikin
from a certified instructor. This class is taught in a co-ed class of 32
students in a classroom situation with a rescui-manikin for every two students
to practice the procedures.
Subject: Basic Lifesaver CPR training
Topic: American Heart Association Certification

Physical Education
Grade 10 Back to the top
Standard 2 The student will understand how and why they move in a variety of situations and use this information to enhance their own skills.

Instructional
Objectives Back
to the top
- The student will be able to identify
an obstructed airway and demonstrate the Heimlich Maneuver.
The student will be able to demonstrate the basic steps of CPR.
The student will be able to assess emergency situations and determine the appropriate response (airway obstruction, nonresponsiveness with breathing, nonresponsiveness with no breathing, nonbreathing with pulse, and nonbreathing with no pulse).
The student will be able to work cooperatively and collaboratively in practice situations to demonstrate all skills.
Student
Activities Back
to the top
Students will have practice opportunities to work independently and collaboratively to learn basic lifesaver skills. The skills introduced will begin with taking a heart rate and progress to identifying emergency situations that require intervention for airway obstruction and cardiac arrest.
Introductory
Activity
Students will participate
in a discussion of lifesaving experiences and the emotional feelings of
witnessing a heart attack or serious trauma to a loved one. This
should be an enpowering discussion for students to be aware how they can
make a difference in saving a life through training as a lifesaver.
Enabling Activity(ies)
- Students will begin by locating their own pulse rate and participating in some aerobic activities to gain an awareness of the change in heartrate and the recover phase.
- Students will practice the rescue procedures on Rescui-Annie manikins as single rescuers and with partners
- Students will be given scenarios to practice assessment and action procedures
- Students will work in small groups and with partners to gain the background knowledge for the terminology, risk factors, and heart and lung anatomy and functions.
Students will be required to demonstrate proficiency in the rescue procedures for a conscious and unconscious victim for an obstructed airway and for cardiac arrest.
Assessment
Back
to the top
Each student will participate
in daily physical education with an effort to improve individual skills
in basic livesaver techniques. The rubric and standards are based
on state standards 2, 5, and 6.

Results
The students
were given a pretest to assess the base knowledge of the class. A
post test was given to the students to measure to knowledge gained through
the class practical demonstrations and written examination. The Basic
Lifesaver examination was given at the beginning of the class to get a
feel for the class baseline knowledge. The same test was given at
the end of the unit to see if learning had taken place. This test
is not part of the Basic Lifesaver certification. Go
