Florida needs more accessable AED’s

About 2.5 million AEDs are scattered across a country of more than 300 million people; experts calculate that 30 million of the devices are needed just to cover all major metropolitan areas.

And even if your office building or church is equipped with an AED, you might not know it. Unlike fire extinguishers, which are a familiar sight in buildings, AEDs often are not prominently visible and identifiable, and are frequently kept under lock and key.

DOTmed: AED Manufacturers Get Regulatory Jolt

Posted May 10th, 2013 by SCAFoundation

The automated external defibrillator industry is about to get a bit of a jolt, according to Brendon Nafiger in DOTmed Business News. In March, the Food and Drug Administration released a long-in-the-works proposed order that will toughen the procedure for getting the devices on the market after a number of high-profile recalls. It’s unclear exactly how this will affect AED-makers, but it could dramatically increase the money and time needed to commercialize the life-saving equipment.

Not everyone is happy about this. The fear is that the new regulations could, by making it harder and more expensive to commercialize devices, discourage innovation or raise the costs of AEDs. Pricier automated defibrillators, which already run between $1,000 and $2,500 per unit, could make it less likely that budget-strapped public facilities will have them on hand in an emergency.

“I hope the public won’t be confused by reports of device failures and think they shouldn’t be involved in helping to save a life,” says Mary Newman, the head of the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation. “As it is, it’s an uphill battle for people to understand how simple these devices are to use.”

April 29, 2013 – The US Coast Guard in Clearwater Florida calls on In-Pulse CPR to train about 50 personnel.

New Grade School Mandate for Minnesota: Students must be CPR trained!

A new law, passed by Governor Mark Dayton on April 23, 2012 (H.F. 2509/S.F. 1908), will require that school age students learn to use an external defibrillator, as well as receive hands-on training of CPR practices, at least once before they graduate.  It is recognized that students can, and do save lives with knowledge and use of CPR skills.  In 30 minutes or less, millions of potential heroes can be created. By learning CPR, you can be prepared to save the life of a man, woman or child, and it only takes about 30 minutes to learn the technique.

A heart attack can be fatal without the life saving interference of CPR. Each year, EMS teams respond to close to 300,000 calls related to heart attacks. It has been determined that the national survival rate for a heart attack is only 7%.

The biggest reason for the low survival rate is lack of interference by bystanders. Less than one-third of out-of-hospital cardiac victims receive CPR. This means, bystander participation is low when a cardiac crisis happens.

Low participation is partly due to bystanders not knowing how to perform CPR. When you have the skills to perform CPR, you will be more apt to step up and help, if you encounter someone in cardiac distress.

Performing CPR isn’t just for adults. School age children can learn CPR techniques in 30 minutes or less, and well enough to achieve the skills to perform adequate, life sustaining intervention.

School age children can perform CPR on a heart victim with the right training. And school age children can receive training, and become skilled in CPR through a self-directed, video-based program. This self-directed program is DVD-based, and requires the use of mannequin dummies for learning chest compressions.   The American Heart Association has been a strong advocate for CPR training for Minnesota school age students and is pleased that this new bill has been passed.

In-Pulse CPR, Inc., a local American Heart Training Center, is looking forward to the challenge in training additional instructors to meet the upcoming training demand for Minnesota schools.

As of now, only a small number of Minnesota schools offer CPR training. Those that do are required to follow nationally recognized guidelines. Eventually, as of 2014-15 school year, all Minnesota public schools will be required to offer this important training to 7th through 12th grade students at least once before one can graduate.  Schools will be required to provide training as part of the school’s curriculum.

 

 

 

 

 

 

CPR training requirement for H.O.P.E School Children in Florida

The H.O.P.E. program (Health Opportunities through Physical Education) is an educational elective for Florida school students that allows them to personally experience all the benefits of routine exercise, proper nutritional choices, and overall good-health decisions through a combination of health and physical education.  It enables students to get a better understanding of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle that will influence them the rest of their lives.

Through the H.O.P.E. program, students will be required to attend an approved American Heart CPR training class.  It has been found that even students can intervene and perform CPR on someone in cardiac distress.  Quick action can increase a heart victim’s chances of survival.

Statistics show that once trained in CPR, you are more likely to use your knowledge and skills in an emergency situation.  Taking a CPR course; like the one offered through In-Pulse CPR (an approved American Heart CPR training provider), can give you the skills and the confidence you need to “act” in an emergency situation.

EMS (Emergency Medical Service) teams across the country respond to a high number of cardiac calls every year.  Each year, approximately 300,000 calls go out to our EMS teams due to men, women, even children in cardiac distress, and in need of medical attention.

With proper training and quick intervention by bystanders, survival rates are greater for the patient.  Those bystanders often include school age students.  Everyone, young and old, can be trained in CPR so that should an emergency situation arise, you are prepared to help.

The In-Pulse CPR classes are thorough and run for either 4 or 6 hours, depending if First Aid training is needed.  By using the latest up-to-date training materials and a teaching style that engages the student will ensure each attendee learns the necessary skills.  The classes are fun also!  At the end of the class, you will be provided with a two-year American Heart certification.  In-Pulse CPR offers training classes throughout Florida.

Did you know that less than one-third of heart attacks that happen with bystanders nearby, receive help from a bystander?  Many times this is because bystanders don’t know how to perform CPR.  They haven’t had training in CPR.  You can make a difference by getting trained in CPR through an American Heart Center like In-Pulse CPR.  You never know when your CPR skills will come in handy.  When you are trained in CPR, you are confident, and more apt to step-up and help in an emergency situation.

In-Pulse CPR gaining AHA Training Center status!

December 14, 2012.  After over a year in the works, Florida based In-Pulse CPR, Inc enters into an agreement with the American Heart Association to become an official AHA Training Center(TC).  Troy Bowman, a spokesman for the company states, “We are now in a position to better provide for our instructors and students”.  Their agreement allows them to oversee Training Sites (TS) and to better support instructors while continuing offering training in Minnesota, Florida, and Pennsylvania.  Mr Bowman states that obtaining this status was far more difficult than he had planned.  In the past, Training Center status was far easier to obtain than it is today.  The AHA now looks at many factors including the companies history, marketing plans, past and expected future growth, and stability of a company/organization seeking Training Center status.  Mollie Bowman is the appointed Training Center Coordinator (TCC), an important role, as she is responsible for all instructors who are a part of the Training Center in following proper AHA guidelines.

Ten GREAT Reasons to Drink Water


Fresh, clean water, the great wellspring of life, is so simple it is often overlooked. The human body is comprised of anywhere between 55% – 78% water. The brain alone consists of 90% water, the blood 83%, muscle 75% and bone 22%.

 

Water is essential for life, even more so than food. Most human beings can go weeks, even months without food but only a few days without adequate water. Water lost through normal bodily activities must be replaced. Lack of water leads to dehydration, a potentially life threatening condition. Every cell in the human body is dependent on water to function properly. Here are just a few great reasons to drink water:

· Water assists the body in nutrient absorption
· Water regulates body temperature
· Water protects vital organs
· Water detoxifies
· Water protects and lubricates joints
· Water transports oxygen to the cells
· Water helps with metabolism
· Water moisturizes the air in the lungs
· Water helps keep the skin (the body’s largest organ) vital
· Water promotes regularity

How Much Water Should You Drink?

We lose water everyday through perspiration, breath, urine and bowl movements. Although there is no hard and fast rule for how much water you should consume daily, there is a general rule of thumb. An easy amount to remember is half of your body weight in ounces per day.

Drink More Water If

· The weather is hot and humid
· You are exercising
· You have an illness with fever, vomiting or diarrhea
· You have dry indoor air
· You are at a high altitude

 

The Dangers of Contaminated Water

Some water is undeniably better than other water. Experts report that contaminated water kills more people than violence or war. The best source of water is one that filters out the bad and leaves the good. Never assume that your local water source is free of contaminants. Some of the dangers floating in unfiltered tap water include:

· Chlorine
· Fluoride
· Rocket Fuel
· Heavy Metals
· Drugs and Hormonally Active Chemicals

 

Camping Safety Tips

Camping is an activity that’s enjoyed by millions every year, and the best thing about this activity is that it can be enjoyed year round – winter, spring, summer and fall.

So, whether you plan on roughing it in a tent or planning a family outing to a national park, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t make safety your #1 priority.

To have an enjoyable and safe camping experience, consider the following safety tips:

  • Remember to pack a first aid kit.  You never know if you or a member of your camping group will end up getting stung by a bee and suffer from an allergic reaction.  Or one of you may end up falling and getting injured.  It’s always best to be prepared if the unfortunate should happen.  Make sure to pack these items:  antiseptic wipes for cuts and scrapes, insect repellent, a snake bite kit, pain relievers, bandaids, antibacterial ointment, tweezers, and any medication that you’re currently on.  Be sure to always check the expiration dates before packing the medication and ointment.
  • Don’t forget to bring along emergency supplies.  These supplies include (but are not limited to): map, compass, flashlight, knife, warm clothing, whistle, water, high-energy food and a compact weather radio.
  • Find out the weather report before you leave, and be alert to approaching storms and seek shelter as necessary.
  • Before you leave for your camping trip, always tell someone where you’ll be and when you plan to return home.  This is just in case something happens and someone needs to come find you.
  • Arrive to your actual campsite before it starts getting dark.  This will give you time to check over the entire campsite and set it up.
  • Check for potential hazards at the campsite such as poison ivy, bees, wasps, branches, hazardous terrain, etc.
  • Always return back to your campsite before dark.
  • Be sure to familiarize yourself with poisonous plants in the area.  If you come into contact with any poisonous plants, rinse the affected area immediately with soap and water.
  • Avoid bugs such as hornets, bees, wasps and yellow jackets.  If you come into contact with these, never swat at them.  That’ll only aggravate them.  Simply push them away.  To avoid attracting these stinging insects, remember to never wear cologne or perfume.
  • Only build a fire in a safe area, away from your tent.  Also, you should never use a flame or any heating device inside your tent.  Use a battery-powered light instead.
  • Make sure your tent is made from a flame-retardant material.
  • Make sure your campfire is always attended to.  When you put the fire out, make sure you drown it with water and make sure all of the embers are wet.  This is VERY important because embers that are buried deep within the pile have a tendency to flame back up at a later time.
  • Use a propane stove as a cooking appliance ONLY.
  • To keep bears and other wildlife away, keep your campsite clean and your food securely packed away.
  • Your group should always decide on a meeting place in case one of you should become separated.

KEEPING SAFE WHILE BOATING IN TAMPA

 

First – Check the Weather Forecast

If you enjoy boating, then safety should be first and foremost in your mind when navigating the coastal waters of Tampa, Florida. Before you set out on any boating excursion then, you want to make sure that the weather stays pleasant. Therefore, don’t leave the dock without confirming that the breeze will stay balmy and the sun will continue to shine during you boating journey.

Safety Items to Include Onboard

In addition to making sure that the weather will be cooperating when you are sailing or boating, you will need to make certain that you have the necessary safety equipment in place and on board. Necessary items include:

  • A first aid kit;
  • Flashlight;
  • Throwable cushions;
  • Coast Guard approved life jackets;
  • Ladder;
  • GPS;
  • Boat anchor;
  • Lines;
  • Hook; and
  • Flares

Other Precautions to Take before you Set out on your Trip

Communication equipment should include a VHF marine radio and cell phone. In addition, make sure you have a stock of extra batteries. If you are going on a day trip, take along provisions, such as food and drinking water. Also, before you make your departure, you will want to check the gasoline and fluid levels and make sure you leave an itinerary with close friends or non-boating members of your family.

Turn Around if Bad Weather Looms on the Horizon

Although you may check to ensure that the skies will stay clear, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t the possibility that the forecast will change. If you learn that a thunderstorm is headed your way, then it’s best to get back to the port immediately. Because you can receive a lightning strike from as far of distance as 20 miles, you need to turn around when storm clouds begin to loom on the horizon. Make sure everyone onboard is wearing his or her lifejacket too.

In Case of a Storm . . .

Should a storm catch you by surprise, you will need to batten down the hatches and secure the ports or, if on a sailing vessel, minimize the sails. If you and your passengers are on a small vessel, then the passengers need to go to the centerline and bottom of the boat. In addition to life jackets, everyone onboard should also wear shoes that safely grip the deck.

Tampa Residents Can Obtain Boater Safety Training Online

Safety should always be a priority when it comes to boating. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission offers a basic boating safety course online that meets Florida’s mandatory safety training in boater education. The course is approved by the state of Florida and recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard. You can obtain further information by visiting the Florida Fish and Wildlife website.
