November is CPR Month.
You may question the value of taking a CPR course. After all, you’re young. Your family is young. What are the chances?
If you or a member of your family is not trained in CPR and basic emergency first aid, consider these points:
- Cardiac arrest is not something that is restricted to the elderly.
- A poisoning incident can lead to cardiac arrest.
- Choking, if not handled will result in heart stoppage.
- Electric shock can stop your heart.
- Once you stop breathing, brain damage can begin to occur in as little as 4 minutes. It takes an emergency team an average of 8-12 minutes to respond to an incident.
Be prepared when faced with a medical emergency. Every minute is crucial.
