This month we are talking about how to move from seeing a person in medical need to rendering care. Learning these steps can make all the difference in saving someone's life. Ask yourself if you are ready to act in an emergency.

We know that disasters and emergencies strike without warning, and at any time. Receive medical training that will enable you to save lives in these situations and feel confident in your training.

If you don’t have a background in medicine, it probably seems as though the words “heart attack” and “cardiac arrest” are used interchangeably. An image may form in your mind of someone with chest pain, pain in one of their arms, and difficulty breathing, who suddenly collapses.

CPR and AED Special Considerations: Water

If the patient is in the water, remove them. Effective, high quality CPR requires a stable, hard surface to place the patient on. Immediately check the airway for breathing, and the pulse at the carotid artery for a pulse, taking no more than 10 seconds. Attempt to arouse the patient by tapping them on the shoulders and shouting "are you OK?". If no response is given, and there is no pulse and no breathing, perform CPR. Direct or alert 9-1-1, and send someone to get the AED.

When the AED arrives, ensure the patient is as free of water as possible. Use a rag, towel, or clothing to pad off as much water as possible. This will allow the electricity traveling between the AED pads to pass through the body and the heart, instead of remaining on the top of the skin.

If you want to learn additional life-threatening skills and interventions, consider taking one of our nationally certified classes.
