Subject: RE: Detroit Free Press/Flagstar Bank Marathon : Official Thread smoak - 2010-10-19 2:58 PM Today I spoke with the Freep Marathon Medical Director and she said the woman went into full cardiac arrest. Thankfully bystanders performed CPR. The woman is doing well and wishes to remain anonymous. I am taking a CPR class ASAP. Excellent idea, I think everyone should know how to do this. I saw an article yesterday that the new method for certain types of patients is to just do chest compressions, as that will start circulating the oxygen already in the blood immediately. I should take a class again to get an update on this. Oh, and thanks for the update on the woman. Glad she is on the mend and really glad she had a few angels running by her. |
