TV Jahn Fröndenberg: Safety for everyone with a new defibrillator!

TV Jahn Fröndenberg has taken an important step towards improving safety in his community. He has purchased a defibrillator, which will be placed in the Overbergschule gymnasium. Last weekend, members and trainers of the club were trained in the use of the life-saving device. This training included a specialist lecture lasting over two hours, which was led by Mr. Tolksdorf, an experienced employee of the anesthesia department at Menden Hospital.

In the lecture, which focused on behavior in emergency situations and the correct use of the automated external defibrillator, Mr. Tolksdorf emphasized the user-friendliness of the device. The defibrillator provides precise instructions in an emergency, making it much easier to use. The aim of this training was to strengthen the participants' sense of security and to enable them to act correctly if necessary.

Important knowledge for emergencies

The importance of first aid courses is also reflected in the current training courses for prospective school paramedics, as described in a report by BR.de be mentioned. Reporter Fero Andersen took one such course, which created realistic practice scenarios to allay students' fears of emergencies. Under the guidance of seminar leader Johannes Rampf, basic medical knowledge was imparted that can be crucial in an emergency.

The trainee paramedics practiced applying pressure bandages and learned how to effectively treat injuries. In particular, the theoretical basics of initial measures, such as resuscitation of an unresponsive person or the correct implementation of chest compressions, are essential contents of the course. The use of a defibrillator is also explained in detail, as these devices can be crucial in an emergency.

First aid as a basic skill

The importance of first aid training is underlined by legal aspects: Anyone who has completed a first aid course is obliged to help in an emergency as long as their own protection is guaranteed. This is especially true for participants in the above courses who volunteer to help others and deepen their medical knowledge.

Finally, the commitment of both TV Jahn Fröndenberg and the prospective school paramedics shows how important it is to be prepared for emergencies. Purchasing a defibrillator and conducting training raises awareness in the community about saving lives in an emergency and promotes the safety of all citizens.
