Do you know how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)? Do you know how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)? Have you ever performed abdominal thrusts (i.e., the Heimlich maneuver) on a choking victim?

Just curious.

Every year I have to renew my CPR certification, and I completed another AHA class yesterday.

(No real victims yet - thank goodness!)

I know CPR and Heimlich from way back in high school, no to the defibrillator


never had to do it on a real person, which is a good thing, but i am pretty sure i could if i had too

No I am not certified - something I'd like to do in the future though!


I think it's great you can do both those things, Kara!

I am certified but have never had to do it, luckily. It's a good thing to know.
