It’s never too soon to start teaching your children CPR.

When Kendall, 11, heard noises coming from her grandmother, she didn’t hesitate.

“I heard these weird noises, so I turned my head and it was my nana, and she was drenched in sweat, so I turned her over and ran to her side and started to do CPR,” explained Kendall.

The paramedics were surprised to find such a young person handling such a serious emergency so calmly.

Even Kendall’s family didn’t know she could do CPR.

“My nana, she taught me when I was little, just incase it happened tony papa,” said the fifth-grader.

According to the paramedics and fire department who responded to the 9-1-1 call, had Kendall not acted so quickly and performed CPR, her grandmother would not have survived.

“My brain just, like, said I had to do it.”

When a young college student collapsed during class, nobody was prepared to perform CPR. The minutes ticked by, well into brain-damage territory, and still nobody stepped up. When security arrived, more precious time was lost because they left their equipment in the car.

This is not a cautionary tale. It’s Cory Wilson’s story.

Just last year Georgia Southern University had only nine automated external defibrillators (AED) on a campus of over 20,000 students.

Cory’s death motivated The Wilson family to raise money for accessibly located AEDs. The university now has 148

Had one person initiated CPR, Cory’s chances of survival would have increased 10 to 17 percent. That’s enough to have saved his life.

If you have ever had to administer chest compression to an adult for any length of time, you know it can become tiring. Maintaing consistent, quality pumps isn’t as easy as it looks.

Victims of cardiac arrest have much greater odds of survival without brain damage if blood can continue to pump through their body and brain. Our brains need oxygen to function properly, and after several minutes without oxygen, damage begins.

With these issues in mind, the LUCAS company created a machine that standardizes chest compressions to meet scientific guidelines. The LUCAS machine eliminates rescuer fatigue, inexperience, or inability.
