An anonymous donor must be having cardiac growing pain. This big-hearted donor gifted nearly $15,000 in CPR training kits for high schools in Illinois.
The Regional Superintendent accepted the 25 training kits and 25 Friends and Family kits to distribute to area schools.
Due to recent legislation, high school students must now be trained in CPR.
Clearly, a very generous person or group understands the need for CPR to be taught. We applaud you.
Be a hero! Learn CPR.
Delaware is a progressive place, just ask Jennifer Stevenson and the folks at PetTech. Stevenson offers professional pet sitting services through her PetTech company and now she can boast to her clients that her techs know pet CPR.
Stevenson covers quite a few safety issues concerning your pet welfare, and even offers her classes to pet owners.
Most pets won’t suffer from cardiac arrest, but can face other dangerous situations like drowning, smoke inhalation, and even traffic accidents.
We applaud Stevenson on her enthusiasm and love of safety.
Be a hero. Learn CPR. The life you save may be your pets’.
The BeeGees couldn’t have know that their mega-hit song, ‘Stayin’ Alive’ would be the rhythm of life.
According to the American Heart Association, the most effective rate of chest compressions is 100 + per minute. This also happens to be the same beat as ‘Stayin’ Alive.’
Most cardiac arrests—when the heart stops working—happen at home in front of family. The heart circulates blood, which carries oxygen, to the brain, keeping the brain functioning. No oxygen=no function.
The brain can’t last long without oxygen before brain damage occurs. Clearly, the best thing we can do for a victim of cardiac arrest is to keep the blood circulating, which means we need to keep the heart working.
Performing CPR is a manual technique for keeping the heart working until the victim’s heart can be resuscitated and function on its own again.
The rate of survival drops 10 percent for every minute the passes without CPR. Hands-Only CPR is just as effective as CPR with mouth-to-mouth, so simply performing Hands-Only CPR is the best thing we can do. Remember ‘Stayin’ Alive’ and move to the rhythm of the beat.
