Good info and advice here.
This is a great reminder to get CPR trained and to have your family and coworkers do the same. CPR/AED and first-aid training are a great way for you to help others, but the only way for you yourself to get help is to encourage others to take the training and stay current with it.
The training is quick and simple. Renew your training year after year when it expires (every two years?) to get up-to-date and also to relearn through repetition.
I can't stress enough how important continued training is. I've been trained in CPR for 45 years and the procedure has changed several times over the years. There will also be a lot of stress, adrenalin and panic going on so the more practice a person has, the better chance it will be second nature to them if the need arises.
