Stayin' Alive!
In the United States, sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death among those over 40. Seattle has the highest trained CPR citizenry in America; in other words, chances of surviving sudden cardiac arrest on the streets of Seattle is substantially better than, say, Louisville where, unfortunately, the survival rate is among the lowest in the nation. To remedy this situation, a number of local healthcare providers are promoting Hands-Only CPR. Those fearing health risks associated with mouth to mouth resuscitation will find Hands-Only CPR more to their liking. Best of all, the technique is easy to learn and simple to perform.
Recently, ten second degree University of Louisville nursing students under the direction of Glenda Adams and Alona Pack demonstrated Hands-Only CPR training to nearly sixty staff members and resident clients at Wayside Christian Mission’s Hotel Louisville. To the music of Stayin’ Alive, clients and staff persons practiced resuscitating dummies under the watchful supervision of the nursing students.
The students performed masterfully. Throughout the class, the participants remained focused and engaged. Glenda Adams, who supervised the event, was visibly impressed by the thorough professionalism of her students.
Who can say? You or someone you love may one day suffer from sudden cardiac arrest. More people trained in Hands-Only CPR training equates to more saved lives. Many thanks to our friends from the University of Louisville School of Nursing for their excellent and potentially life-saving presentation.
