First Aid/CPR Poll

[Basking Ridge Diver]

Volunteer fireman - CPR refresher happens every 2 years - we bring in house an instructor and all the members have access to the refresher class and if you take it you get your cert. I keep it current not because of diving but because it is a good idea for me with Family and friends...

Studying your former materials is a good proactive habit to maintain. However, standards, practices, and procedures change fairly frequently, which is why it important to recert every two years. Like a few others, the army requires my BLS & ACLS, which helps to keep me honest.

Right, stuff changes frequently. I once posed the question why? You'd think that enough data has been collected over the decades we've had computers to declare what the best way is. Ei. CPR before or after rescue breaths?, 30:2 or 15:2?, same for children or different? But that's an old thread.

I volunteered to scrape fish poop at the local aquarium, and they required it. The instructor talked me into the O2 class.
