February is heart month and a great time to take or renew
your CPR if it's been more than a year.
Facts:
- No family can rely on 911 alone. When someone stops breathing, or the heart stops beating, they typically can only survive for only 4 to 6 minutes before lack of oxygen can result in brain damage.
- At least one child dies from choking on food every five days in the U.S., and more than 10,000 children are taken to a hospital emergency room each year for food-choking injuries.
- More than 90% of deaths from foreign object occurs in children younger than 5 years old; 65% of them are infants! (AHA)
- For every choking-related death, there are more than 100 visits to U.S. emergency departments. In 2001, an estimated 17,537 children 14 years or younger were treated in U.S. emergency departments for choking episodes. (CDC)
- Anyone can learn CPR
- 70 percent of Americans may feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either do not know how to administer CPR or their training has significantly lapsed.
- The life you save with CPR is mostly likely to be someone you love.
- Effective bystander CPR provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest can double or triple a victim's chance of survival, but only 32 percent of cardiac arrest victims get CPR from a bystander.

Hands only CPR
A question I am often asked is, "Do I have to do the breathing on a stranger"?
The answer is no for a teen or adult. But, yes for an infant or child. An attempt should be made to give breaths to infants and children. How to Give Hands-Only CPR. If you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse, call 9-1-1 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of the classic disco song "Stayin' Alive." CPR can more than double a person's chances of survival, and "Stayin' Alive" has the right beat for Hands-Only CPR.

 Safety tips for choking prevention for kids:
Don't give kids younger than 4 years old any hard, smooth foods that can partially or completely block the windpipe, such as: - nuts of any type
- sunflower seeds
- watermelon with seeds
- cherries with pits
- raw carrots, peas, and celery
- popcorn
- hard candy
- raw apples and pears
