What are you to do if you have a heart attack while you are alone.
If you've already received this, it means people care about you
The Johnson City Medical Center staff actually discovered this
And did an in-depth study on it in our ICU The two individuals that
Discovered this then did an article on it. Had it published and have
Even had it incor****ated into ACLS and CPR cl*****. It does work.
It is called cough CPR. A cardiologist says it's the truth ... For
your info, if everyone who gets this sends it to 10 people; you can
bet that we'll save at least one life. Read This...It could save your
life!
Let's say its 6:15 p.m. And you're driving home (alone of course),
after an usually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and
frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest
that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are
only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home.
Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.
What can you do?
You've been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course didn't
tell you what to do if it happened to you.
Without help the person whose heart is beating improperly and who
begins to feel faint has only about 10 seconds left before losing
consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing
repeatedly and very vigorously.
A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must
be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the
chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds
without let up until help arrives, Or until the heart is felt to be
beating normally again.
Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze
the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on
the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart
attack victims can get to a hospital.
Tell as many other people as possible about this, it could save their
lives!
