Speaker: Charles Tran Topic: First Aid
A highlight of our last meeting was the return of former member and past president Charles Tran. Charles returned in his roles as volunteer with St John Ambulance and the CFA to demonstrate CPR techniques, including the use of the defibrillator. He has retained his connection with the club as a ‘Friend of Rotary’. and his talk marked a welcome return to the club.
As with a similar presentation some years ago, Charles captured the interest of all members. Many were surprised to learn that since COVID, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation has largely fallen out of favour.
Charles impressed upon members the need to request a MICA (Mobile Intensive Care Ambulance) when making an emergency call for a person suffering a heart attack, something perhaps not well known in the general community.
Thanks to earlier efforts by Charles a heart defibrillator is kept in the container at The Farmers Market.
