The American Heart Association started a program to acquaint physicians with close-chest cardiac resuscitation and became the forerunner of CPR training for the general public. The conference was the direct result of requests from the American National Red Cross and other agencies to establish standardized training and performance standards for CPR.
He helped train over , people the first two years of the programs. The goal here is to get people involved. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Taking a little step back to the past , during the polio epidemic in Minnesota, physician James Elam applied mouth-to-mouth respiration on an affected child. In four breaths, he was pink. He had come across the technique the previous night when reading a book on the history of neonatal resuscitation. This episode guided his subsequent research with the physician Dr Peter Safar. Together they demonstrated the effectiveness of their technique of artificial mouth-to-mouth respiration.
From their work spreading ideas to the scientific community and to the general public arose the need to introduce manikins for training in ventilation techniques. He was a Red Cross volunteer in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The second manikin was designed by Safar and the Norwegian toymaker Asmund Laerdal. It become the most famous in the world: CPR Annie was a manikin with human features and size. However, the formal connection between the ventilation techniques of Helam and Safar and the cardiac massage and defibrillation procedure of Kouwenhoven and Jude took place in September at the annual meeting of the Maryland Medical Society, where they were presented for the first time together.
It was the birth of modern CPR. During the world tour to promote to the public the newly-formed CPR Safar, Kouwenhoven and Jude assigned director David Adams to produce an educational video. The defibrillator arrived on the scene in , thanks to professor Pantridge, who formed the first coronary care unit in Belfast Mobile MCCU. Professor Pantridge reported 22 in that of patients treated by the MCCU staff over 15 month-period , half had heart attacks in progress and 10 were rescued with a cardiac arrest in progress.
All 10 were resuscitated and admitted to the hospital, an amazing achievement. The foundations of modern chain of survival had been laid This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
