CPR and
AED in Action
Marcene
McGowen, an instructor in First Aid and an Emergency Medical
Technician with Eastside Fire and Rescue, gave an informative refresher
course in the uses of CPR and the Automated External Defibrillator
(AED) machines at Friday’s meeting. Her major message was that CPR
doesn’t restart the heart in the event of cardiovascular failure, it
only buys time until a medical team can arrive. The AED is the latest
technology which actually becomes the critical link in the chain of
survival involving victims of cardiac arrest.
“Time is
critical in an emergency,” Marcene observed. She revealed a chart that
showed damage to the body is not likely within zero to four minutes;
damage is possible if the condition is allowed to persist from 4 to 6
minutes; from 6-10 minutes, damage is very likely; and after 10
minutes, it is irreversible. READ MORE
