First Aid: Life saving emergency action

  • Once you understand and follow basic first aid principles, you'll help assure the best possible outcome for a sick or injured person and know that your quick, knowledgeable action may be the difference between life and death.
  • Most cardiac arrest victims die because witnesses don't know how to give CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Significantly increase the victim's survival chances when you know CPR.

Hi John; This is just the kind of zone I need to link to my Centenarian zone. There is lots of vital information that everyone should be aware of. You never know when someone needs first aid:) This is a great zone.
