Department for about 25 years of Vice chairman and if you know thanks to the chap gr bring more more prrs directly to the community this one problem let me just share one quick personal story about this p we have to say thank you P um I have four children and I have two teenagers at home my 15-year-old had a pilot maneuver first a for given in school and she got certified and she was one of the few kids that didn't want to get certified she said she just felt was important and you know we didn't think any of it uh a couple of weeks ago we had a family gathering and my niece was was choking on a on a on a piece of beat that she ate now my son who was a first aor of a policeman he was you know he was outside with me barbecuing and the person that jumped up right away and took care of her 19-year-old niece was my daughter didn't think twice got up well this piece of meat flopped right out she was fine it just go to show how learning these things you never know when you're ever going to have to use it and when it can affect your whole family or some other place you're at and you know all of us are always going to sit as of town we're always going to do events that have those kind of things that are people can choke on and think about the fact that watching someone choke you and not knowing what to do what a frightening situation and especially with the p maneuver it's different on children than it is going to be on adults but considering that a lot of us have family members that are aging how important is to be a to help that think so I can only tell you this program is just a wonderful program for all of us not just if you're babysit or you're part of a school ass but just as adults around family members having ss being around those kind of things and knowing what to do

welcome to the CPR and AED module of the American Heart association's Hearts saer first a course before we get started let's define a couple of terms that we here used during the course for the purposes of this course an adult is anyone who is going through or who has already gone through puberty if there's any question question about whether or not the person has reached puberty treat the person as you would an adult someone who responds moves speaks blinks or otherwise reacts when you tap him and ask if he's okay when you push on the chest during CPR that's called a compression when someone's heart stops beating blood stops flowing through the body CV help keep a person's blood flowing until other Medical Care can be given the most important part of CPR is pushing hard and fast on the chest when you get compressions when you push on the chest you pump blood to the brain and heart so let's focus just on contractions right now and take a look at how they should be done move clothes out of the way put the heel of one hand on the lower half of the breast bone put the heel on your other hand on top of the first hand push straight down at least 2 in with each compression after each compression let the chest come back up to its normal position
