Hello MakintheBacon Readers!
The following is an excerpt from my post over at Suburban Finance:
How many of you know how to perform cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR)? How many of you know how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED)?
If someone was having trouble breathing, was unconscious and unresponsive or having a heart attack, would you know what to do? Of course your first instinct would be to call 911, but remember that it can take some time, depending on where you live, until medical help arrives.
Would you rather just sit and wait frantically or start administering CPR if you knew how?
Some pretty deep stuff, eh? Head on over to Suburban Finance to read the rest about saving a life.
Hello Karen, thanks for this post. It is true. It is always a good idea to learn some basics about CPR and how to use an AED. The first minutes are key to increase the chances of survival of someone suffering from a sudden cardiac arrest.
