Safety, Health, & Fitness (and games too)

This ones for Jane and some unidentified ex-instructor.

  • How many compressions per minute?
  • How deep are they?
  • What is the ratio of breaths to compressions?
  • How long does each breath last?
  • How strong is each Breath?
  • Did they mention Cardio-Cerebral-Resusciation?
  • Did they talk about the new guidelines which allow AED to be used on everyone except new borns? Yes, they have now extended child AED to infants.
  • Jane, sorry if this brings up bad memories; but, I thought it might be a good time to remind everyone about the virtues of keeping current in this lifesaving skill. And if you are or have been an instructor, no names mentioned, you might check with the Red Cross to see what would be nessary to be reinstated. You could then hold family training sessions. Fun.


This is Old Man and Costas Margaritis at last years Wellness Fair.

  • Old Man's blood pressure was down and his chloesterol was excellent. but his blood sugar a little high, I wonder why?
  • How is yours doing?
  • What about your weight and aerobic capacity?
  • Come to Greece and they amost all will get better.
Old Man handing out a trophy in Thessoliniki, Greece, last spring.

Our soccer team won first place and they gave me one of the medals. It hangs in my living room around the calendar that Thing-2 gave me for Christmas last year. Guess what else is prominently displayed my my front room? Watch for the answers in future blogs; maybe!

i KNOW, i KNOW I NEED TO GET RECERTIFIED. I have a great idea,you come home and recert me in WSI, first aid, cpr, aed, water aerobics, lifeguarding and anything else tha tmight be helpful. That should only take an hour, maybe an afternoon since you are such a good instructor and I am such an excellent studetn!

Let's scrap the recertification idea. All you really need to do is press on 'em and blow at 'em. Right????

100 compressions a min breathe for 1 sec. Push hard and fast. 1/3 to 1/2 chest depth for infants/childre. 1 man cpr on infant is 15-2..how come not 30-2??? Compression more important than breaths for cerebral function. No AED's on infants in this neck of the woods. Nice dummy old man. sjane
