self CPR

What are you to do if you have a heart
attack while you are alone.
If you've already received this, it
means people care about you ...

The Johnson City Medical Center staff
actually discovered this
and did an in-depth study on it in our
ICU The two individuals that

discovered this then did an article on
it .. had it published and have even
had it incorporated into ACLS and CPR
classes.

It is very true and has and does work.
It is called cough CPR. A cardiologist
says it's the truth ... For your
info ...If everyone who gets this
sends it to 10 people, you can bet
that we'll
save at least one life.

Read This...It could save your life!
Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. and you're
driving home (alone of course), after
an usually hard day on the job You're
really tired, upset and frustrated.
Suddenly you start experiencing severe
pain in your chest that starts to
radiate out into your arm and up into
your jaw. You are only about five
miles from the hospital nearest your
home. Unfortunately you don't know if
you'll be able to make it that far.
What can you do? You've been trained
in CPR but the guy that taught the
course, didn't tell you what to do if
it happened to yourself.

Since many people are alone when they
suffer a heart attack, this article
seemed to be in order. Without help,
the person whose heart is beating
improperly and who begins to feel
faint, has only about 10 seconds left
before losing consciousness. However,
these victims can help themselves by
coughing repeatedly and very
vigorously. A deep breath should be
taken before each cough, and the cough
must be deep and prolonged, as when
producing sputum from deep inside the
chest. A breath and a cough must be
repeated about very two seconds
without let up until help arrives, or
until the heart is felt to be beating

normally again. Deep breaths get
oxygen into the lungs and coughing
movements squeeze the heart and keep
the blood circulating. The squeezing
pressure on the heart also helps it
regain normal rhythm. In this way,
heart attack victims can get to a
hospital. Tell as many other people as
possible about this, it could save
their lives!
