| Subject: | Fwd: CPR when you are along |
I am now taking a course with The Great Courses called Medical School for
Everyone-Emergency Medicine.
When I received this email, it seemed timely to forward to everyone. Ron
Millman, CPA
It's a repeat but worth the reminder!
I hope everyone can send this on as it is really important for everyone to
know!
1. Let's say it's 7:25 pm and you're going home (alone of course)
after an unusually hard day on the job.
2. You're really tired, upset and frustrated.
3. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that
starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw.
You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.
4. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.
5. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course
did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.
6. HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE?
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack without help,
the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint,
has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.
7. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly
and very vigorously.
A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep
and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.
A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without
let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating
normally again.
8. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements
squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure
on the heart also helps it to regain a normal rhythm.
In this way, heart attack victims can get help or to a hospital.
9. . Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save
their lives!
10. . A cardiologist says: "If everyone who gets this email & kindly
sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at least one life.
11. *Rather than sending jokes, please ....... contribute by
forwarding this email which can save a person's life....*
12. If this message comes around to you ...... more than once.....
please don't get irritated..... U need to be happy that you have many
friends who care about you & you are being reminded of how to tackle....
Heart attacks.... when you are alone.
=8B*BUT DON'T FORGET TO CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY !!!*=8B
