Courage Center Handiham System

Ham radio operators are often active in emergency services. In fact, everyone should know some safety basics, especially those of us who are even more likely to have a connection with emergency services or be active in remote locations like Field Day sites. A cardiac arrest means certain death without the application of CPR! Take a look at this Mayo Clinic video showing continuous compression CPR, which does not require clearing the victim's airway and doing rescue breathing. Instead, chest compressions are used. For our blind members who listen to the audio track of this video, the description is pretty good. We urge everyone to take a CPR class to get some professional training and some hands on practice using a mannequin designed for CPR training.
