CPR and AED Training in Doha, Qatar

CPR and AED training in Doha, Qatar focuses on the skills that make the biggest difference in sudden cardiac arrest: early recognition, calling for help, effective chest compressions and early defibrillation. The course also covers Automated External Defibrillator (AED) training in detail, explaining how the device analyzes heart rhythm, how to place the pads and how to follow its voice prompts safely. Participants leave knowing how to act within seconds rather than hesitate.

Most of the time is spent on manikin practice, with feedback on hand position, compression depth of 5 to 6 cm for adults, a rate of 100 to 120 per minute and full chest recoil. Learners practice rescue breaths with a face shield, team CPR and swapping compressors to limit fatigue, using AED trainer units. Organizations can book the program in-house so staff practice with the AED models installed in their own buildings.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Recognize cardiac arrest, including absent or abnormal breathing, and call for help immediately.

• Perform adult chest compressions at the correct depth, rate and recoil.

• Deliver rescue breaths using a face shield or pocket mask.

• Adapt CPR technique for children and infants.

• Operate an automated external defibrillator safely, following its prompts.

• Coordinate team CPR and hand over clearly to emergency services.

This training suits anyone who may need to respond to a sudden collapse at work, in public or at home.

• Workplace first aiders and emergency response team members

• Security, reception and facilities staff

• Sports coaches, gym and leisure center staff

• Teachers and school administrators

• Hospitality and event staff

Module 1: Cardiac Arrest and the Chain of Survival

• Heart attack versus cardiac arrest

• Chain of survival: early call, CPR, defibrillation, care

• Scene safety and checking response and breathing

• Recognizing agonal breathing

Module 2: Adult CPR

• Hand position and compression depth of 5 to 6 cm

• Compression rate of 100 to 120 per minute

• Full recoil and minimizing interruptions

• 30 compressions to 2 rescue breaths

• Compression-only CPR when breaths are not possible

Module 3: Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Training

• How an AED analyzes rhythm and advises a shock

• Pad placement for adults and children

• Safety around water, metal surfaces and medication patches

• Continuing CPR between AED prompts

Module 4: Child and Infant CPR

• Initial rescue breaths for children and infants

• Two-finger or encircling technique for infants

• Compression depth relative to chest size

• Pediatric pads and settings on AEDs

Module 5: Team CPR and Practical Assessment

• Roles in team CPR and swapping compressors

• Handover information for paramedics

• Manikin scenarios with AED trainer units

• Emotional impact and debriefing after an incident

Public buildings, malls, sports venues, schools and workplaces across Qatar increasingly have AEDs on site, but a device only helps when someone nearby is willing and able to use it. With large crowds at events, busy transport hubs and a workforce exposed to heat stress, trained bystanders can bridge the gap until emergency services reach the scene. Spreading CPR and AED skills widely supports the healthy, capable society envisioned in Qatar National Vision 2030.
