Southwest Healthcare’s Palmdale Regional Medical Center (PRMC) will provide no-cost “hands-only” CPR training on Sidewalk CPR Day—Tuesday, June 2, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.—outside the Emergency Department entrance under the portico on the southwest side of the building. PRMC is one of many sites across Los Angeles County offering this training throughout the first week of June. This is a come-and-go event, open to the public between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., featuring a quick 10-minute training. Videos will also be available to watch.
Learning “hands-only” CPR helps local emergency responders by addressing the first few critical minutes following cardiac arrest. Since the lungs and blood contain only enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for a short time, bystanders become heroes until emergency responders arrive on scene. With each chest compression using “hands-only” CPR, ordinary citizens can help maintain blood flow and give patients a much better chance of survival once responders arrive. Only 32% of victims receive CPR from a bystander. Don’t be a bystander in a cardiac emergency—be a lifesaver.
For more information about this upcoming training, contact the Palmdale Regional Education Department at 661-382-5604.
