PrimaryYear 5 - 6Health and Physical EducationHealthPhysical EducationSocialMental HealthPhysical Health
Lesson Summary
This lesson familiarises students with the physiological function of the heart when it experiences a cardiac event, commonly known as a heart attack. Students will then undertake an investigation of the DRSABCD method for responding to medical emergencies, before undertaking a simulation to prepare them as much as possible for such a difficult situation.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- the mechanics of a cardiac arrest and the functional impact on the heart
- how to approach an emergency scenario using the steps of DRSABCD, and the justifications behind this approach.
Success criteria
Students can:
- analyse cardiac rhythms to determine the function of a heartbeat
- use critical and creative thinking to apply this knowledge to evaluate an abnormal rhythm leading to an emergency cardiac event
- explain the steps taken and information to be provided during a Triple Zero emergency call
- explain the steps taken to assess and provide assistance during an emergency medical situation
- demonstrate the process for dealing with an emergency medical situation using the DRSABCD method.
