Guy's,
I've tried to have this included in the Driver Licencing system, over here, for years.
It all came about, from an elderly lady who had a Heart Attack at a local Petrol Station,
where, everyone just stood around, wondering what to do, one guy put her in the "Recovery
Position", she died, before the Ambulance Staff got there.
WHY?!. [Linked Image]

Guys,

I'm a one man shop, I am CPR trained and keep current (no pun). Never know when you'll need it.

BTW WA allows CU's for it.

I have never heard of "cough CPR".. but was interested in reading more about it. I found this site,
http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blcpr.htm

I know of folks that have survived choking by doing the heimlich maneuver on themselves.

I'm very new here (can not find/read the newbie file???) so please bear with me.

Another option to consider (for the larger companies at least) is an AED -automatic external defibrillator. My company has recently purchase one and I'm all for it. Also, every "electrician" on staff has to be certified in first aid and CPR. We also give infant CPR for their personal use.

Thanks Tiffany.

welcome bchase,
people in EMS would like AED's as avaiable as fire extinguishers, as well as people that now to use them.

Trumpy,
no one likes that usless feeling really, many show up for training because of those scenes
