Do You Know How To Do CPR?
One of these days you may have to perform CPR on someone you don't even know...
Here is a story with a happy ending; I don't even know what kind of watch they used to set the pace... http://www.charlotteobserver.com/liv...161322343.html

Yes. I am BLS, ACLS, PALS and Trauma Certified. It's required for healthcare providers in my hospital.
It's CPR/BLS is a nice skill to have for non- healthcare works as it can save a stranger's life. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Know how, yes. Certification has run out since I retired though. I've done CPR in conjunction with paramedics in the past.

Yes, had the joy of having to do it on my son once on a Christmas Eve - successfully. That Xmas day spent in hospital really brought home the value of family.
Also was a first aider in U.K. for 12yrs. Saved my boy from choking a couple of years ago. This was a bizarre coincidence as I had read a news article a few days before about someone being saved by moving an object toward a lung. So my son somehow manages to inhale soil through a pipe from a toy and blocks his windpipe. I swing into action and try the stuff you get trained to do - couldn't hook anything out, back slaps and Heimlich weren't working and he was blue by this point. So I just went for broke and reached down into his throat and I must have broken up the clump of soil and he recovered. He was suitably upset and hasn't tried that again! |

Have done it many times.
Work in healthcare, use to be the one doing the compressions now I manage them. Actually had a choking incident in the doctors lounge last year. Chewed and swallowed the meat but it didn't go down... Was not moving air, and I tried to clear it myself but couldn't. Stood up, and banged on the table. Luckily it was crowded, and another physician jumped up and did the heimlich on me. Third thrust cleared the blockage. Proceeded to puke all over the floor in front of every physician/administrator. When to the bathroom, cleaned up and went back to work seeing patients. CPR and Heimlick, are must knows. They work, and can make the difference. I know if I was in that room by myself, I believe things would have gone very differently.

Is the Heimlich still used within the US?
Its always been actively discouraged as well as essentially never implemented into training within Australia. |

Yes. CPR and First Aid certs every 2 years as an LEO.
I'm told if you do it right you probably break ribs. |

I'm not certified anymore either but really have to reconsider that, indeed!

Luckily the lifeguards didn't have to do it, neither on my son nor on me when we almist drowned yesterday, but would have been happy if someone knew how to do it, had the lifeguards came a few minutes later...

If unsuccessful, give five chest thrusts by placing one hand in the middle of their back for support and the heel of the other hand on the lower part of their breastbone – checking if the blockage has been removed after each thrust. |

What are the benefits of being certified? Career aside, I mean if you know how to do it that's that?
If I ever needed CPR and someone came to my aid I sure wouldn't stop them to check their certification
