Recently, the Scottish Ambulance Service delivered CPR training to Rooms 23, 24, 26 & 27. This was such a valuable experience, learning a skill that can help save lives. Here\u2019s what some of the pupils had to say, along with a selection of photos:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe learned the correct hand position for performing CPR and that you have to push down about 5-6cm deep for it to help keep oxygen flowing around the body. You might even break some of the ribs doing it properly.\u201d – Lily\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou should perform 100 – 120 compressions every minute for the CPR to be effective.\u201d – Eva L<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor every minute a person isn\u2019t getting CPR performed, their chance of survival drops by 10%\u201d – Brody C<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWithout CPR, the brain begins to deteriorate after 3 mins.\u201d – Carrie<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s called a code purple when you phone 999. Ambulances aim to get to the patient in under 8 minutes.\u201d – Holly G<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe learned that out of 70 people in a week who might have a cardiac arrest, only 4 of them will survive. If we all know how to do CPR, we can help to change that number and give people the best chance of survival.\u201d – Aaron C<\/span><\/p>\n
