A new study reveals that over 80% of Australians would not feel confident performing CPR on a baby or child, highlighting a concerning nationwide emergency skills gap. The report from Australia Wide First Aid found that despite the majority acknowledging CPR as the most important first aid skill, a significant number find it intimidating and lack confidence in their abilities.
More than 80 per cent of Australia ns would not be confident in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a baby or child, a study has found, revealing a nationwide emergency skills gap. The report, from first aid training company Australia Wide First Aid , found 82 per cent of respondents would not back their CPR skills in such circumstances.
That was despite 44 per cent of Australian households with children experiencing a health or medical emergency in the past year, the first aid provider's survey found. Australia Wide First Aid said its report showed there was a need to "address the CPR knowledge gap" across the country.
