I bet you didn’t know that June 1st through June 7th is CPR/AED Awareness Week. As we all know, knowing how to properly conduct CPR can be vital! Each year CPR saves thousands of lives. Every year, EMS teams treat nearly 300,000 cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. But anyone can learn CPR, not just EMS professionals. Knowing CPR can help you save a life…which in turn, sort of makes you a super hero! It only takes 22 minutes and all this week AHA and the Mayor’s office is providing free training and nifty take home kits.
The AHA recommends that CPR training should be required for graduation from secondary school and, specifically, that such training should include skills practice that will reinforce recognition of a possible cardiac arrest. Training should also include, at least, an awareness of the purpose of an AED, a device designed for use by non-medical bystanders that can restore a normal heart rhythm in many situations. For instance, wouldn’t you be able to breathe easier knowing that your child can provide CPR if ever needed?
