EVA, GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND
EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING.
>>> NOW WE'VE GOT TO DO TALK
ABOUT SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT
TO SAVE A LIFE, MARK.
>> IT IS JUNE 1st AND IT'S THE
START OF CPR AWARENESS WEEK.
THINK OF HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS,
SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY SAVED
LIVE
LIVES.
IRHAVE A WHOLE KS TO BREAK DOWN.
ONE OF TWO THINGS.
START WITH SCHOOLS LOCALLY TO
GET KIDS INVOLVED SO THEY KNOW
HOW TO PERFORM CPR AND BREAK IT
DOWN TO SHOW YOU HOW TO DO HANDS
ONLY CPR.
SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO SHARE.
INTRODUCE YOU TO EVERYBODY.
MARK OWENS WELCOME BACKO FROM
THE AMERICAN AMERICAN HEART
ASSOCIATION.
SHERRY, JACKSONVILLE
INTERNATIONAL AND A HUGE
ADVOCATE FOR THE HEART
ASSOCIATION.
AND MOVING DOWN, ANGELICA JONES,
A STUDENT AND ALSO MRS. FLORIDA,
AND AN OUTSTANDING TEEN.
RIGHT.
AND THEN LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT
LEAST, GRETA HALL, YOU ARE WITH
ST. JOHN'S COUNTY AND
COORDINATOR TORE THE AMERICAN
HEART ASSOCIATION AND YOU'RE
GOING TO TEACH US HOW TO DO SOME
OF THE TECHNIQUES IN A SECOND.
LET'S GO BACK TO MARK, CAN YOU
GIVE US AN OVERVIEW, KIND OF AN
EPIDEMIC, PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE
WHAT THEY'RE MISSING OUT ON CPR.
>> IT IS.
HEART DISEASE IS THE NUMBER ONE
REASON PEOPLE DIE IN OUR
COUNTRY.
EVERY YEAR 300,000 OUT OF
HOSPITAL CARDIAC ARREST.
OF THAT, ONLY 10% OF PEOPLE
SURVIVE. SO THE HEART
ASSOCIATION FOUR YEARS AGO HAD
THE IDEA TO MAKE HANDS ONLY CPR
TRAINING, A STATEWIDE EDUCATION
CURRICULUM FOR GRADUATING
SENIORS.
SINCE THAT FOUR YEAR MARK, FOUR
YEARS AGO, 37 STATES PASSED IT
INTO CURRICULUM.
FLORIDA HAS NOT.
WHAT'S AWESOME ON THE COAST, IS
TWO OF OUR COUNTIES PLACED IT IN
PLACE THIS YEAR.
NASSAU AND DUWAW PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
SO STARTING THIS YEAR, OUR
STUDENTS WILL BE TRAINED IN CPR.
>> THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.
AND COULD SAVE LIVES.
SHERRY, I KNOW YOU'RE PASSIONATE
ABOUT IT.
WE WANT TO BREAK DOWN.
GRETA AND ANGELICA, CAN YOU WALK
THROUGH WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE,
THEN.
>> BASICALLY WHAT YOU WANT TO
DO, IS WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE
UNCONSCIOUS AND NOT RESPONDING,
THE FIRST THING YOU WANT TO DO
IS GET HELP.
SO YOU WANT TO CALL 911 OR GET
SOMEBODY TO CALL 911.
SO YOU POINT OR DROP YOURSELF
AND PUT YOUR PHONE ON SPEAKER.
THEN YOU WANT TO START
COMPRESSIONS.
PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE CENTER OF
THE CHEST.
ONE HAND ON TOP OF THE OTHER.
AND YOU WANT TO PUSH TWO INCHES
DOWN INTO SOMEONE'S CHEST.
HARD AND FAST.
USUALLY THE RATE BETWEEN 100,
AND 120 PER MINUTE.
>> 100, AND 120 PER MINUTE.
>> IT'S BASICALLY GOING TO LOOK
LIKE THIS.
USE THE SKILL UNTIL E.M.S.
ARRIVES.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS
LOOKING FOR, SOMETIMES IT CAN,
EXHAUSTING, SO YOU WANT TO TAKE
SHIFTS, RADIO CORRECT?
THAT'S A LOT OF BEATS PER MINUTE
THAT YOU WANT TO DO.
>> EXACTLY.
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS SWITCH
OFF EVERY TWO MINUTES OR 200
COMPRESSIONS OR IF YOU FEEL
YOURSELF BEING FATIGUE.
>> THAT'S A GREAT TIP.
NOW ANGELICA, YOU'RE A STUDENT,
SO YOU HAD TO LEARN SOME OF
THIS.
SO WHAT DID THAT MEAN TO YOU AND
YOUR PEERS?
>> WELL, IT'S A REALLY GREAT
TECHNIQUE, JUST BECAUSE YOU
NEVER REALLY KNOW WHAT SITUATION
YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN.
SO TO HAVE A LIFE SAVING SKILL,
HOPEFULLY I NEVER HAVE TO USE
IT.
BUT JUST TO ALWAYS B PREPARED
IS NEVER A BAD THING.
>> YEAH.
AND SHIRI GIVE US AN OVERVIEW,
YOU'RE IN THE COMMUNITY, RAISING
AWARENESS, MAKING SURE THE
MESSAGE IS OUT THERE.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
THIS IS ME AND MY HUSBAND'S
PASSION, MAKING SURE THE ENTIRE
COMMUNITY IS READY FOR CPR.
NOW SENIORS ARE GOING TO HAVE IT
NOW.
ONE OF THE THINGS I ALSO DONE IS
HAD A HEART HEALTHY NIGHT, PUT
IT IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
WHERE THE FAMILIES CAN ALSO
LEARN THE LIFE SAVING TOOL.
I'M PROUD TO ANNOUNCE WE WON THE
PTSA.
>> CONGRATULATIONS.
>> I'M A BIG SUPPORTER OF THE
VOLUNTEE
VOLUNTEERS BECAUSE THEY'VE MADE
SUCH HUGE MOVEMENTS TO HELP OUT
THE COMMUNITY.
ANGELICA, THEY'RE PART OF THE
FIRST CLASS, THE NEW SENIOR
CLASS TO GET THESE TOOLS.
SO WE'RE DOING GOOD THINGS ON T
THE COAST.
IF YOU AT HOME WANT TO KNOW
WHERE TO GET CPR CERTIFIED.
CAN YOU GO ON heart.org.
AND YOU CAN GO UNDER CPR
LOCATED, AND IT WILL SHOW YOU
THE PLACES YOU CAN BE TRAINED
AT.
heart.org IS WHERE YOU CAN GO
TODAY.
THIS IS CPR AWARENESS WEEK.
LET'S START RIGHT NOW AND HAVE
THAT TOOL WITH US.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
