June marks CPR and AED Awareness Month
(WKBN) — June is CPR and AED awareness month. If you don't know CRP, now is a good time to learn, because emergencies can happen at any time.
Some people may feel scared to help during an emergency, but not helping can be worse.
First, check the person's pulse and see if they are breathing. If they aren't, start CPR right away. It's recommended to push hard and fast with 100 to 120 chest compressions per minute.
You don't need to do mouth-to-mouth breathing. Dr. Nicholas Ruthmann, a cardiologist from the Cleveland Clinic, says if there's an AED, you should use it.
'There's incredible data that delays in CPR will actually change the outcome quite considerably for a patient, and conversely, if you can intervene within those first few minutes, even, the chances of that patient actually having a survival skyrocket,' Ruthmann said.
Reports show most cardiac arrests happen at home, which is why Ruthmann says it's very important to know CPR.

You are now free to move about the cabin. The singing, however …
On one hand, I get it. For I, too, was once a child full of song. Some might even say overflowing.

It was, objectively, precious.
