We got an offer to attend a CPR/defribillator course at work. I almost declined since it isn't that long since I last did that. Except it was 6 years ago
Anyway, it was good to get a refresher. And keeping those compressions going is sweaty work! I also was remided of how damaged the carpal tunnels up my right arm are
Did you know that most patients brought to ER by ambulance suffer from hyopthermia? About 70% in Norway, but also almost 60% in California. Lying on the ground sucks away your body heat alarmingly quickly.
Oh, and those defibrillator thingies will pour some 200-350 Joule of energy through you in about 5 milliseconds. That's a heartstopping amount! Really, it is!
Clear!
