In an interview with John Muhr, Fire Chief of our own Cathedral City Fire Department, he shared valuable insights: *The human brain can experience irreversible brain damage when it is deprived of oxygen longer than just a few minutes. *So, it is critical for bystanders to initiate and continue oxygen delivery. They need you to “ KEEP THE PUMP MOVING ”. *90 % of the time the Cathedral City Fire Department arrives within 6 minutes, so they will be there to take command in short order, but those first 5 - 6 minutes are crucial. *So, first call or have someone call 911 to initiate their response. *Commence CPR - do not hesitate (even if you do compressions only). *Initiate AED use - it is a highly intuitive device, just follow the instructions it provides. *Virtually all their Firefighters are trained paramedics, and they will assume command on arrival. *The Cathedral City Fire Department is training up and moving to a dispatch model to provide you, the bystander, with pre arrival guidance, so together ” THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME ” can be achieved. REMEMBER - the goal is to keep the pump moving by early delivery of CPR and AED. Help our First Responders Help Us!
