Carrie Fisher in critical condition.


Recommended Posts

Last reported by her brother she is in stable condition. Being that I am an EMT-Paramedic, I cannot stress the importance of CPR. Chest compressions to the beat of "Staying Alive" or Darth Vaders " Imperial March."

Kinda ironic either way.

Yep, been teaching first aid now for what........32 years now. LEARN CPR!!!!!! Its freaking easy!!!!!

 

 

Everyone should know CPR. 

 

Do you know who SHOULD learn CPR?  Women....specifically older women.....chances are they will be the first responders later in life for their husband when he has his first heart attack.  Of course older men should learn it as well.

Wifes should also learn how to open bathroom doors, as most people who suffer a heart attack at home do so in a bathroom.

A lot of medical simulation rooms are now being designed as bathrooms as that is the #1 scenario for emergency services responding to house medical emergencies now.

 

a lot of cardiac patients feel sick to start and head to the bathroom.

 

Sadly a lot of family members don't know how to open locked bathroom doors to start the critical early CPR.

Ahhh you mean locked bathroom doors.....that does actually make good sense.

Besides locked doors, every bathroom door opens into the bathroom. If an unconscious person is leaning angainst the door, or falls in front of it, you'ld first have to push the person away in order to get into the bathroom. That is about as serious as locked doors.
