COME BACK, EVERYBODY ALL DAY LONG. WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT STAYING ALIVE. IT IS OUR FOCUS
HERE AT LOCAL 4 TODAY, AND WE’RE
TALKING ABOUT CARDIAC ARREST. IT
IS A LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN
THE UNITED STATES A HEART ATTACK
BUT RECEIVING IMMEDIATE HANDS.
ONLY CPR CAN DOUBLE OR EVEN
TRIPLE YOUR EYES OF SURVIVING.
THAT’S WHY WE’RE PARTNERING WITH
THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION
TO HELP YOU LEARN HOW TO DO IT,
AND WE ARE PARTICIPATING AS
WELL. OUR OWN STAFF HERE AT
LOCAL 4 IS PARTICIPATING IN
TRAINING RIGHT NOW, IN FACT, TO
FRANK MCGEORGE IS HERE TO SHOW
US JUST HOW EASY IT IS WHY IT’S
SO IMPORTANT TO LEARN AND THE
FACT THAT THIS CAN SAVE A LIFE,
DOC. YEAH ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY
RHONDA AND EVROD CASSIMY LIFE
AND THAT’S WHY THIS IS SUCH A
BASIC AND IMPORTANT SKILL FOR
EVERYONE TO KNOW. SO FIRST OFF,
I’M JOINED BY MANY OF MY LOCAL 4
CO WORKERS AS WELL AS MOST
IMPORTANTLY, DR BRIAN O’NEILL.
HE IS THE CHAIRMAN OF EMERGENCY
MEDICINE, WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY
AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AT
THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION,
AND I WANT TO PUT A SPECIAL
SHOUT OUT TO THE AMERICAN HEART
ASSOCIATION AS WELL FOR
PROVIDING ALL OF THE CPR
MANNEQUINS AND ALL OF THE
LIFESAVING WORK THEY DO EVERY
DAY IN TRAINING COMMUNITY SO
BROAD RYAN. UM I WANT TO START
WITH THE MOST BASIC THING. IF
YOU CAN GO THROUGH, BASICALLY
WHAT YOU’VE GONE THROUGH HELP
TEACH CPR IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF
MINUTES. THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
START WITH THE MOST BASIC WHEN
YOU FIRST FIND AN UNCONSCIOUS
PERSON. THANKS, FRANK. SO IT’S
NO NO GO. REMEMBER THAT? NO, NO
GO. NO RESPONSE TO VERBAL OR
SHAKING. THEY DON’T RESPOND. NO
NORMAL BREATHING GOES DO CPR, SO
THAT’S NO NO GO AND WHEN YOU’RE
WHEN YOU’RE GOING INTO THE CHEST
, SOMEBODY CALL 911 FIND THE D.
YOU’RE ON THE CHEST. NOW WE DO
HANDS ONLY CPR BECAUSE WE FOUND
THE BREASTS WERE INEFFECTIVE AND
YOU REALLY WEREN’T MOVING ENOUGH
BLOOD TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. SO
NOW IT’S ALL ABOUT HANDS ON THE
CHESS PRIMING THAT PUMP WHICH IS
YOUR HEART? KEEPING IT GOING.
IT’S KIND OF LIKE A HAND PUMP.
YOU GOTTA KEEP PUMPING PUMPING.
OTHERWISE IF YOU STOP THAT LEVEL
GOES DOWN AND WE’RE ALL WE’RE
DOING IS RESTARTING THAT HEART
THE PUMP SO NO, NO GO UP AND
OVER YOUR HANDS. YOUR HANDS ARE
ON THE ON THE ON THE CHEST
STRAIGHT UP HERE. ALL IN A LINE.
YOUR ELBOWS ARE LOCKED IN ITS
POP. AND THEN YOU GOT TO KEEP
THE BEAT IN YOUR HEAD. SO
STAYING ALIVE IS THERE. UH I’M
NOT FOND OF THAT. I’M A BOMB
SOME PHONE AND ULTIMATELY YOU’RE
GOING AT ABOUT 100 TO 120 BEATS
PER MINUTE, WHICH IS PRETTY FAST
AND ULTIMATELY YOU WILL GET
EXHAUSTED PRETTY QUICKLY. YOU
WILL. THAT’S WHY THE IDEA
KEEPING YOUR ARMS LOCKED
STRAIGHT. EVERYTHING ABOVE YOU
IS REALLY IMPORTANT. SO IT’S 100
120 BEATS A MINUTE. YOU HAVE TO
PRESS THE CHEST DOWN ABOUT TWO
INCHES ON THIS THING. IT’S NICE
BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU A CLICK AND
YOU KEEP DOING THAT UNTIL HELP
ARRIVES. AIDS THERE. BUT IF YOU
DO THIS SIMPLE MANEUVER, YOU
INCREASE YOUR CHANCE OF BEING
DISCHARGED BY THE HAT FROM THE
HOSPITAL. 34 WHAT CAN YOU DO IN
YOUR LIFE, FRANK THAT YOU CAN
INCREASE THE CHANCE OF SOMEBODY
LIVING AND BEING DISCHARGED FROM
THE HOSPITAL THREEFOLD. EXACTLY
I MEAN, I THINK THAT’S A GREAT
POINT. THIS IS REALLY AN
ESSENTIAL SKILL FOR EVERYONE.
AND WE KNOW FROM THE RESEARCH
THAT YOU’VE DONE ACTUALLY, THAT
THIS HAS HELPED PEOPLE IN METRO
DETROIT. CORRECT SO IN 2002 ARE
DISCHARGED FROM HOSPITAL. IT WAS
0.2% NOW WE’RE UP TO FIVE A
LITTLE BIT LOWER, BUT 25 TIMES
BETTER THAN WE WERE ALL ABOUT
THE CHAIN OF SURVIVAL. WE NEED
TO START CPR. CALL 911.
ACTUALLY, THEY CALL 911 START
CPR AND THEN ULTIMATELY,
AMBULANCE PARAMEDICS. FIRST
RESPONDERS WILL GET THERE.
HOPEFULLY, WITH AN A E D
DEFIBRILLATE. SOMEONE HOPEFULLY
GET THEM TO THE HOSPITAL. THAT’S
REALLY THE KEY. THE KEY. YEAH,
IT’S SURVIVABLE TO DISCHARGE
BEING ORIGINAL IN THEIR
LOGICALLY, NO MORE. I WANT TO
PUT YOU BACK INTO SOCIETY. WELL
THANKS SO MUCH, BRIAN AND COMING
UP AT 12 30. WE’RE GOING TO BE
TALKING TO ARE TALKING ABOUT A
SURVIVOR STORY AND WE’RE ALSO
GOING TO TALK TO ONE OF OUR OUR
LOCAL 4 EMPLOYEES ABOUT WHAT
THEY HAVE LEARNED TODAY AND
RECAP SOME OF THIS SO THAT YOU
AT HOME CAN LEARN HOW TO DO IT
AND FEEL EMPOWERED TO DO IT WITH
THAT. I’LL SEND IT BACK TO YOU,
RHONDA AND EVROD CASSIMY
MCGEORGE JUST FROM US WATCHING
ALL OF OUR CAR WORKERS. SOME OF
THE TECHNIQUES WERE A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT WHEN YOU’RE PRESSING.
SHOULD YOU ALWAYS HAVE YOUR
HANDS ON THE CHEST. SOME PEOPLE
WERE KIND OF THEIR HANDS, LEFT
THE CHEST AND THEN WENT BACK
DOWN, AND SOME WERE JUST LIKE
DEPRESSING ON IT. DOES THAT MAKE
SENSE? THAT IS AN IMPORTANT
POINT. YES, THAT IS AN IMPORTANT
POINT. ACTUALLY WHEN YOU WHEN
YOU LIFT OFF THE CHEST, OR
SHOULD SAY WHEN YOU RELAX. YOU
DON’T WANT TO LEAN ON THE CHEST.
YOU WANT TO RELAX COMPLETELY SO
THE CHEST CAN COMPLETELY RECOIL
. YOU DON’T WANT TO DO A BOUNCE
, THOUGH. YOU DON’T WANT TO BE
BOUNCING ON AND OFF THE CHEST,
BUT YOU DO NEED TO RELAX YOUR
ARM OR RELAX. YOUR BODY POSTURE
COMPLETELY SO THAT THE CHEST
COMPLETELY RECOILS. OTHERWISE
THE HEART CANNOT REFILL WITH
BLOOD COMPLETELY. THAT’S SO
THAT’S AN IMPORTANT POINT. ALL
RIGHT. THANK YOU, DR MICHAEL.
WE’LL SEE YOU IN THE NEXT HALF
HOUR FEEL LIKE I’M I’M READY TO
GET IN THERE AND DO IT OURSELVES
. YEAH GOD FORBID, POINT. THERE

PRACTICE AT HOME AS WELL. SHARE
