First Aid Class Presented at High School

PRESS RELEASE

Marlboro County Rescue Squad members Dr. Kevin Jasinski and David Flowers were among those who presented classes during the Marlboro County Schools Staff Development Day.  On Friday, February 17^th, two, ninety-minute first aid presentations were made by Jasinski and Flowers to a total of 45 school employees.  The PowerPoint presentations covered over 20 topics, some with “hands on” demonstrations.  The topics ranged from the “A,B,C’s” of C.P.R.,  asthma and allergic reactions, diabetic emergencies, bleeding control, fractures, burns, and seizures.  Numerous pieces of equipment from the ambulance were also on display. Each participant in the two presentations received a 40 page Emergency Care Flip Chart as well as a Johnson & Johnson First Aid Kit. Dr. Kevin Jasinski says that “he was extremely pleased with the attention and interest shown by the school employees that took these classes.  Each is now better trained to handle any emergency that their students may have during the school day”.  Both presenters have volunteered in the E.M.S. setting since the early 1980’s, and have over fifty years of combined experience.
