It is a simple skill that can save lives, yet too few people are trained. Making CPR education a standard part of school and workplace training would empower more people to step in during emergencies, especially since cardiac arrests often occur outside of hospitals. Starting CPR lessons at a young age, even just an hour or two a year, can build lifelong confidence and readiness. It is a small investment of time with potentially life-changing outcomes.
Making this the norm could help create a safer, more responsive society.
My previouse employer trained everyone in management and staff type roles. They probably should have done everyone. My current employer has a dedicated Emergency Responce Team so none of the rest of us get training but there is an alarm system and people trained.
At some point it seems reasonable to have an AED in your home so long as you are likely to have someone else there. I think the cost is now under $2,000.
Everyone should know how to do basic CPR?
