We provide all our students with the very latest in first aid and CPR training to ensure they’re prepared for any kind of medical emergency. We’ve put together a few important tips to keep in mind when managing some of the most common first aid situations that occur here in Australia.

Here at First Aid Accident & Emergency, we regularly teach our first aid students about the most accurate and up-to-date ways to deal with a wide range of emergency medical scenarios. One of these scenarios is how to best manage severe and life-threatening bleeding.

If you find yourself in the middle of a medical emergency where life-threatening bleeding is involved, using a tourniquet is often your best option until medical assistance arrives. We’ve decided to share some of our knowledge with you on tourniquets, including a summary of what they are and how to use them.
