Stayin Alive with CPR and AEDs

Nothing says it’s going to be a great day like a pulse. That’s why Valleyheartglenners is sharing this two-minute video on CPR and use of an AED (automatic external defibrillator).

Rather than count the recommended 100-120 pulses per minute, we hear that you can play Stayin Alive in your head and follow the beat. Here’s a sample of the tune on Amazon. (Another One Bites the Dust and The Imperial March from Star Wars are also rumored to work for those of you with sick senses of humor.)

The older model AEDs, after analyzing the person’s heart rhythm, would say out loud, “Recommend shock,” and light up a flashing button for the person to push after shouting out, “Clear!” Newer devices (after conducting the heart rhythm analysis) simply state, “Shocking now! Clear!” They then deliver the shock automatically. ♣
