CPR

Hands Only CPR and AED training review

There are a number of videos that provide a quick and easy review of the steps in a cardiac emergency – call/push/shock.  This one was done by Richmond Ambulance Authority in Virginia.  The first part of the video features a survivor of a cardiac arrest telling his story of how CPR and an AED saved his life when he had a cardiac arrest during a race in his community. The actual review of how to perform CPR and use an AED begins at the 13:15 minute mark of the video and lasts about 4 minutes.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MZKK5xz7kE  This can be a terrific review for staff members but also can serve as an introduction to the training.  While this does not provide full training with certification, we do know that the more people who at least are informed about hands only CPR and AED use, the better chance there is of a fast response to a sudden cardiac arrest.
