The Education Committee continues to bring you a great slate<br />
of Saturday Sessions in 2005. Hope to see you there!<br />

CPR/AED Class–Kevin Shanders, <strong>Portland</strong> Fire Bureau<br />
<strong>Portland</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> has an AED. It will be carried to the Outstation or on other Cruises so that it<br />
will be available in the event of an emergency. We want to have all members trained on CPR and the<br />
AED so we can provide lifesaving aid to people suffering sudden cardiac arrest.<br />

•Why should people who are responsible for operating an AED receive CPR training? Early CPR is an integral part of providing lifesaving aid<br />
to people suffering sudden cardiac arrest. The ventilation and compression skills learned in a CPR class help to circulate oxygen-rich blood<br />
to the brain. After delivering a series of three electric shocks, the typical AED will prompt the operator to continue CPR while the device<br />
continues to analyze the patient.<br />
•If AEDs are so easy to use, why do people need formal training in how to use them? An AED operator must know how to recognize the signs<br />
of a sudden cardiac arrest, when to activate the EMS system, and how to do CPR. It's also important for operators to receive formal training<br />
on the AED model they will use so that they become familiar with the device and are able to successfully operate it in an emergency.<br />
Training also teaches the operator how to avoid potentially hazardous situations.<br />
•What kind of training on AEDs will we do? The AHA has developed a new Heartsaver AED Course that integrates CPR and AED training<br />
in a hands-on environment. The course is 3 1/2 to 4 hours long. All persons that take the class will receive a Certification Card from the<br />
American Heart Association.<br />
