>> Rhonda: WELCOME BACK!
THIS MORNING, WE ARE ASKING THE
QUESTION, CAN YOU SAVE A LIFE?
WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS CPR, ANY
DELAY CAN BE THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.
LOCAL 4 IS DEVOTING ALL DAY LONG
DURING OUR NEWSCAST AND EVERY
NEWSCAST THROUGHOUT THE DAY TO
HELPING YOU LEARN HANDS-ONLY
CPR.
>> Evrod: AND WE'RE JOINED BY
CINDY DEWOLF FROM THE AMERICAN
HEART ASSOCIATION AND YOU SAY
IT'S EASIER THAN IT USED TO BE.
HOW SO?
>> WE'LL TEACH YOU HANDS ONLY
CPR TODAY.
I HEARD SOMEONE SAY, ARE WE
GOING TO BE DOING THE BREATHS?
NO, HANDS ONLY.
THAT.
>> THERE ARE BARRIERS FOR PEOPLE
PERFORMING THE STANDARD CPR, AND
ONE OF THOSE WAS THE BREATHS.
SO WE DID A LOT OF RESEARCH AND
FOUND THE MOST IMPORTANT PART
ARE THE COMPRESSIONS.
SO WE WANTED TO TAKE THAT
BARRIER AWAY FOR THE GENERAL
PUBLIC AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO
THE COMPRESSIONS.
SO LET'S GET STARTED.
IF YOU COME UPON SOMEONE WHO IS
UNRESPONSIVE, THE FIRST THING
YOU'RE GOING TO DO IS CHECK AND
SEE IF THEY'RE OKAY AND DO THAT
BAY SAYING, ARE YOU OKAY?
ARE YOU OKAY?
AND THEY'RE NOT RESPONDING.
SO THE NEXT THING YOU DO IS --
>> Rhonda: WHAT IF THEY DO
IT?
>> THEY'RE ALL SET.
>> Brandon: THAT'S WHEN YOU DO
MOUTH-TO-MOUTH.
>> Rhonda: GIVE 'EM A KISS AND
SAY, YOU'RE OKAY!
>> AND THEN THEY MAY CALL 911.
[LAUGHTER]
IF YOU'RE IN A CROWD, ASSIGN
CALLING 911 TO SOMEONE ELSE.
SO LET'S ALL PRACTICE THAT.
YOU CALL 911!
>> Kim: I'LL BE RIGHT BACK!
>> Rhonda: AND TELL US WHAT TO
DO NEXT.
>> LOCK YOUR HANDS LIKE THIS,
AND YOU'RE GONNA LOCK YOUR
ELBOWS IN THE CENTER OF THE
CHEST AND PUSH TO THE BEAT OF
"STAYIN' ALIVE."
>> Evrod: DO WE REMEMBER IT?
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.
WE MAY HAVE HEARD IT.
HAND.
YOU SHOULD HEAR A CLICK.
>> Rhonda: SO A LOT OF PEOPLE
WORRY ABOUT DOING IT WRONG,
TRYING?
>> NO.
ANY CPR IS BETTER THAN NO CPR.
SO KEEP GOING.
>> Evrod: CAN WE DO IT TO LIKE
"UPTON FUNK"?
>> Kim: HAIL TO THE VICTOR.
>> DO IT UNTIL HELP ARRIVES.
KEEP GOING UNTIL EMS ARRIVES.
>> Brandon: RHONDA, WHERE IS
YOUR CLICKING.
>> Rhonda: THIS HURTS MY HAND.
THIS IS HARD.
IS SOMEONE'S CHEST THIS FIRM?
>> YES, THAT'S WHY THERE'S
FEEDBACK ON THE MANNEQUINS.
>> Kim: IT TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT
TO FEEL THE CLICK.
SO YOU HAVE TO PUSH REALLY HARD.
>> THAT'S WHY THERE'S FEEDBACK
FROM THE MANNEQUINS.
YOU HAVE TO GO DOWN 2 INCHES.
>> Kim: IT SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH
SITTING THERE.
>> YOU NEED TO GET TO THE DEPTH
OF 2 INCHES TO MAKE GOOD
COMPRESSIONS, SO YOU WANT TO GET
TO THAT 100 TO 120 COMPRESSIONS
PER MINUTE.
SO LET'S ALL PRACTICE.
>> Evrod: WE'LL CONTINUE TO
PRACTICE.
>> Rhonda: TELL US WHAT YOU'RE
DOING TO TEACH KIDS IN DETROIT.
>> WE HAD A BIG TRAINING WITH
DETROIT EMS LAST WEDNESDAY WHERE
WE TRAINED THE STUDENTS AND WE
ARE EMPOWERING THE STUDENTS TO
ACTUALLY TAKE MANNEQUINS VERY
SIMILAR TO THIS HOME AND TRAIN
TEN MORE PEOPLE IN YOUR
AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR COMMUNITY
