The statistics say that about 75% of cardiac arrests occur in the home, so we should all learn how to respond to such an event.

The Four Steps for Life are:

Ring 000 for an ambulance;

Open the airway;

Pump the chest – 30 times;

Breathe mouth to mouth – 2 breaths;

then repeat steps (3) and (4) until professional help arrives or the patient recovers.

Meg has offered to supervise anyone wanting to develop these skills.

A great presentation by Geoff, a bit confronting watching the first video, but vital information for all of us. 

Sue gave the vote of thanks.
