re: #557 Mad Al-Jaffee

Yeah CPR is nothing like you see in the movies and on tv. It doesn’t get the heart started again, it just keeps the blood and O2 flowing until more advanced care can be given.

I was an EMT enlisted in the first EMT Defibrillation study in the early 80’s. We showed early defib gave enough of an advantage to be worthwhile. The AED, Automatic External Defibrillator now common was an out growth of that early work.
