Hi Everyone!
Did anyone see the article written by Daniel Yee of The Associated Press?
"LACK OF TRAINING MAKES DEFIBRILLATORS USELESS."
The jist of the article was that football star Ryan Boslet died even though there was a portable defibrillator available. School staff members and coaches couldn't figure out how to work it.
"Boslet's death a year ago points to a larger problem: Ordinary people, even with training, often can't use the increasingly popular defibrillators under pressure of an emergency." "It's not the box on the wall that saves a life - someone has to be trained to know what to do in an emergency and how to use it. That's what saves a life." - Robin McCune of The American Heart Association.
