Picture this: you are having dinner with your family at your favorite restaurant. Everyone has ordered their dinner and you are happily chatting and catching up on the activities of the day. You hear a small ruckus at a table behind you. You turn around to see that someone at the table is choking or in cardiac arrest. So many things go through your mind at that point in time. Are you trained to be able to assist this person in need? Have you ever had to use Continuous Chest Compression Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CCC –CPR) on a friend, loved one or someone in your community? I have had to perform CPR on a family member at one time, and while it is scary to consider being trained and prepared is something I am glad I did.
Learning CCC-CPR would be a god idea for everyone. I know keeping up on it for me is a good idea being a REALTOR, as I work with both young and elderly people who I go to eat with and drive around in my vehicle. Living in Arizona with all the swimming pools and water parks it is a good idea for everyone to have some familiarity with the techniques because you never know what will happen. The survival rate for a cardiac arrest victim drops by 10% each minute there is a delay in starting CCC-CPR. Emergency response times are typically 4 to 8 minutes. So, you could be the reason someone lives.
The Surprise Fire Department is offering FREE CCC-CPR classes on July 11th and August 8th from 9:00 am to 11:00 am and 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm at the Public Safety Building Auditorium located at 14250 W Statler Plaza Surprise AZ 85374.
