Hi All!! I am traveling to a rural town in Honduras this summer to train a group of community health workers in CPR and First Aid. The goal is to form a small emergency medical response team for the community. I have acquired a refurbished LifePak 500 AED and some supplies, but could use any old...

Hi all! My name is Andie Cuiffo and I'm a NR-AEMT living in NY, as well as an ocean lifeguard and officer for International Surf Lifesaving Association (ISLA). Every year I travel to Indonesia with ISLA and teach lifesaving and basic first aid, as Indonesia has little to no prehospital care or...

When I was getting a physical, the PA offered to have me teach their CPR classes, and they give certified cards, but I am not certified to teach, so can I still actually teach their classes? I wouldn't know if my name would be on their card, or the PA's. They actually told me it's fine, but I...

We all know how to do proper CPR (hopefully), I am posting this thread to ask for feedback on a special circumstance: A provider or bystander needs to modify his or her compressions due to a wrist or hand injury. I recently suffered a Boxers Fracture to my right hand (compression fracture of...

So after working stand by at an event this weekend, I got my first cardiac arrest. It came out of no where, and turned to be a very stressful call. I understand why now in EMT class they stress CPR so much, but I'm noticing that a lot of students don't take it seriously. Everyone has a mentality...
