CPR, AED, First Aid Training Certification Classes | AED Sales:
Whether you captain a dingy, boat, trawler, yacht, cruise ship or any other type of marine vessel you should consider having an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) on board.  If it floats and you have people on board an AED is an essential part of every boat captains first aid kit.

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. 

Question:  Should divers and sport fishermen have AEDs?
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 we are just a phone call away from Emergency Medical Personnel, ambulances and hospitals.  While we are out at sea help could be hours away. 

Question:  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.

Question:  What is C.P.R.?
Answer: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency medical procedure for a victim of cardiac arrest or, in some circumstances, respiratory arrest.  CPR is performed in hospitals, or in the community by laypersons or by emergency response professionals.

CPR consists of artificial blood circulation and artificial respiration (i.e. chest compressions and lung ventilation).  CPR is generally continued, usually in the presence of advanced life support, until the patient regains a heart beat (called "return of spontaneous circulation" or "ROSC") or is declared dead.

CPR is unlikely to restart the heart, but rather its purpose is to maintain a flow of oxygenated blood to the brain and the heart, thereby delaying tissue death and extending the brief window of opportunity for a successful resuscitation without permanent brain damage.  Defibrillation and advanced life support are usually needed to restart the heart.

Question:  Is sudden cardiac arrest the same as a heart attack?
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 known as thrombolytics.

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.

Question:  Who will be teaching the classes?

Interesting facts you should know:
1) Sudden cardiac arrest claims about 340,000 lives each year.  This is about 930 every day nationwide.
2) 95 percent of cardiac arrest victims do not recover and die.
3) For every minute a cardiac arrest victim is not defibrillated, his or her chances of survival declines  7-10 percent.
4) Brain death starts to occur in just four to six minutes after someone experiences sudden cardiac arrest.
5) If defibrillation can be performed within the first 1-3 minutes, there is a 70-80 percent chance of survival.
6) Cardiac arrest is caused by a life-threatening abnormal heart rhythm that can result from heart attack, respiratory arrest, electrocution, drowning, choking or trauma, or it can have no known cause.
7) The use of effective bystander CPR nearly doubles a victim’s chance for surviving sudden cardiac arrest.
