CPR for Florida boaters - ships captain and crew

Question:  Should all boats have an AED?
Answer:  Yes - Brain death starts to occur within about 4 to 6 minutes of cardiac arrest.  If defibrillation can be performed within the first 1-3 minutes, there is a 70-80 percent chance of survival.  If you do not have an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) on your boat when a passenger or crew member goes into cardiac arrest it is unlikely the victim will survive.  It is my opinion that no matter what boat you you captain, a pontoon boat, a fishing boat, a dive boat, a yacht or even a submarine -all marine vessels should invest in the safety of the crew and passengers. 

Florida CPR AED First Aid TrainingQuestion:  Should divers and sport fishermen have an AED on board?
Answer:  Yes - People that are scuba diving, snorkeling, or fishing are more at risk than those people on land due to the increased risk of drowning and the distance they must travel to get help.  On land help is usually just a phone call away.  But at sea Emergency Medical Personnel, ambulances and hospitals are usually not close by.  While we are out at sea help could be hours or even days away. 

Medtronic Physio Control AEDQuestion:  What is an AED?
Answer:  An Automated External Defibrillator or AED is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient.  The AED is able to treat the patient by application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm.  AEDs are designed to be simple so that anyone can use one.  Proper use of an AED is taught in our CPR first aid classes.

Question:  Do you sell AED's?
Answer:  Yes.  We not only sell AED's but we can also train you how to use and maintain a defibrillator.  The AED’s we offer are ideal for commercial (Public Access Defibrillators), the home (Home Defibrillators) and on your boat.  Please call us to discuss your specific needs.

On Wednesday 11-28-2007 while traveling home from Pittsburgh I actually helped save another traveler’s life with an AED - Automated External Defibrillator in the Atlanta airport.  Trust me – CPR and AED training is the most valuable skill you can learn.  The life you save maybe a loved one.

CPR - Boating First AidQuestion: Do you offer the class in Spanish?
Answer: Yes, we offer the class in English, Spanish (Espanol), Portuguese and Italian.  Please call us at 561-762-0500 to discuss your training needs.


Defibtech AED - Good for boatingQuestion:  Is sudden cardiac arrest the same as a heart attack?
Answer: No. A heart attack occurs when a blood vessel feeding the heart itself is blocked by plaque or a blood clot. The longer the blood flow is interrupted the more extensive the damage done. The majority of heart attack victims survive the first attack. Treatment for heart attack includes angioplasty using a tiny balloon to widen blocked blood vessels and “clot-busting” drugs.

Sudden cardiac arrest involves problems with the heart’s electrical system, which can cause it to stop beating entirely. When that happens, blood flow to the rest of the body is interrupted, and the victim passes out. Defibrillation is the only known treatment for this condition, and AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) are the fastest and most efficient way to treat individuals with this lifesaving device.

Florida CPR AED First Aid ClassesQuestion:  Who will be teaching the classes?
Answer:  Keith Murray is the owner of The CPR School, LLC.  Keith is a certified Florida EMT Firefighter and has been teaching people for over 20 years.  Keith holds a masters degree from Lebanon Valley College in Pennsylvania and has instructed people of all ages and backgrounds including college students, professional groups, hotel and resort workers, doctors, nurses, dentists, dental hygienists, condo associations, boat captains, boat crew, fisherman, divers, yacht owners, airline pilots, flight attendants, government employees and just about any other group you can imagine.  Keith recently used his CPR AED skills to save a traveler in the Atlanta airport.  Please click on the following link to read the story http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07340/839484-55.stm

Question:  How do I contact Keith to buy an AED or schedule training?
