Emergencies occur anytime, anywhere, which is why being prepared is something that most people should exemplify. The American Heart Association took this belief by heart, which had served as the basis of their program called Pediatric Advanced Life Support or PALS.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique. It aims to keep blood and oxygen flowing through the body when a person’s heart and breathing have stopped.
CPR can be performed by any trained person. It involves external chest compressions and rescue breathing.
CPR performed within the first six minutes of the heart stopping can keep someone alive until medical help arrives.

Performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitationWhen the AHA revised its CPR guidelines in 2010, it announced that chest compressions should be performed first before opening the person’s airway. The old model was ABC (Airway, Breathing, Compressions). This was replaced by CAB (Compressions, Airway, Breathing).
In the first few minutes of cardiac arrest, there’s still oxygen in the person’s lungs and bloodstream. Starting chest compressions first on someone who’s unresponsive or not breathing normally can help send this critical oxygen to the brain and heart without any delay.

A person needing CPR will be collapsed on the ground, completely unresponsive, not breathing, and have no pulse.
1. To determine if a person needs CPR the first thing to do is go over and slap them on the shoulders to try waking them up. Be forceful; make sure they aren’t simply unconscious or semiconscious.
2. If they don’t show any sign of life immediately call 911, then check to see if they’re breathing.
3. Tilt the person's head back by lifting their chin, and put your ear close to their nose and mouth to listen for breathing sounds. As you do this look at their chest to see if it rises and falls. Do this for no more than 10 seconds to make sure they’re not breathing.

Saving a life can be done in one simple push.
The NYPD and New York Presbyterian Hospital are pushing the new one-hand CPR technique, known as "Hands Only CPR" that everyone can use — and save a life in the process.
Scores of cops and students at lower Manhattan's Murry Bergtraum High School got a quick lesson in how to administer Hands Only CPR at One Police Plaza Thursday.
There are three simple rules to the technique, if someone goes into cardiac arrest in front of you, you should check for responsiveness, call 911, then compress hard and fast in the middle of the person's chest.

Baby Care EmergenciesInjuries and accidents can happen even to the safest person. A child being naturally curious is more prone to injuries. Minor accidents and injuries is a part in parcel of childhood and growing up. Childcare also involves the parents’ responsibility to handle such crucial emergencies- differentiating a minor accident from an emergency, and taking appropriate action.
Having a first-aid kit is a requirement at every home and learn what all is required to keep in it. Have a list of numbers for emergency situations written down somewhere which is easily accessible as well as on your mobile.

Dallas – About 10,000 cardiac arrest situations occur in the workplace each year, yet only 45 percent of U.S. employees have been trained in first aid – and only 50 percent of workers know where to find an automated external defibrillator – according to the results of a survey recently conducted by the American Heart Association.
CPR training in high schools is the best place to create a generation of lifesavers. Why? Because the majority of sudden cardiac arrests happen outside of the hospital and most of these people aren’t close to first responders. This means that they are surrounded by regular people, like you and me. It’s critical that we all know the one skill that could save a life so I want to urge our lawmakers to bring CPR training to Pennsylvania’s high schools by supporting SB 948 and HB 1464. It takes as 30 minutes to train students in this lifesaving skill.
While the EMS crew is rushing in, they say it's important someone is already tending to the patient suffering the heart episode.
The friend, family member or stranger's efforts could be the difference of life or death.
"It's already not a very high chance of survival when you go into cardiac arrest," explained MMR Paramedic Supervisor, Josh Fox. "When you don't do any compressions or CPR, the body's not circulating anything at all."

Another point Pass touched on was safe sleeping for your infant. While your baby is an infant, swaddling keeps them snug as a bug. But, when your baby shows signs of rolling, it is important to let them be free. If they roll over, they will be able to use their arms to keep their head up, preventing any blankets or loose sheets from obstructing their breathing.
A sports coach is perpetually moments away from responding to emergency.
Whether out on the soccer pitch or inside the gymnasium, student athletes could at any time call out for assistance due to injury or other health concerns.
“You’re always just a play away from a kid going down,” said Steve Waters, athletic director for Glynn County Schools. “And we want to be able to somehow keep the kid moving and going until the ambulance can get there or our trainers can get there, if they’re not on scene.”

During cardiac arrest, the odds of survival decrease by 7-10% every minute, and the average response time for emergency personnel is 8-12 minutes. When CPR can be started right away, the patient’s chance for survival can double or even triple.* In a study reported by the National Institute of Health, survival rates for cardiac arrest were extremely low when bystander CPR was not administered.
CORDOVA, TN (WMC) - An entire Mid-South high school campus is now certified to save a life.

It is said that the younger ones imitate what they see from adults. In fact, some children talk the way their parents did or put on makeup just like their mother did. It’s because, at a young age, the little ones can easily absorb what they see and hear. It’s a human nature anyway. Thus, it’s important to show good deeds.
But, what if a little girl does a CPR? We know that first aid requires applied learning and focus. But, a little girl wows everyone in the first aid class when she does a CPR just like a pro. A mother brought her baby girl in a first aid class. While the mother was learning the CPR skills, the little girl is also absorbing the lesson.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique that is useful in emergencies in which someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped, such as heart attacks or near drownings. An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that diagnoses life-threatening heart problems and treats them through defibrillation, which allows the heart to reestablish its proper rhythm. Having these skills could save someone’s life.
Someone who’s had a cardiac arrest will suddenly collapse on the floor, stop breathing and have no pulse. And cardiac arrests do happen to children, not just grown-ups. So, in its recently released guidelines, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is encouraging all parents to learn how to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Responding to traumatic situations, like the one in January of last year where a 6-year-old Henry County boy was hit and killed by a car while sledding, takes a toll on first responders.
For some, the toll becomes too much.

Cardiac Arrest can happen at any time, to anybody. Yes; some people are at higher risk of cardiac arrest with certain medical conditions or co-morbidities but very occasionally it ‘just happens’.

We all know children will always follow what other adults do, that's why it is important to be aware of your actions because it might affect the personality and behavior of a child. If you want teach your children how to dance, you also have to show them how it works for them to follow you. That's when talent and skills developed.
"How about kids instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about maybe taking CPR classes or trying to deal with situations that when there is a violent shooter that you can actually respond to that," Santorum said on CNN's "State of the Union
