According to the American Heart Association, cardiac arrest claims more lives globally than colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, influenza, pneumonia, auto accidents, HIV, firearms, and house fires combined.
But if an emergency happens near you where someone needs CPR, would you be prepared? On this episode of For the Love of Health, we’re joined by Jennifer Oldham, cardiovascular quality and innovation nurse program manager at ChristianaCare. Jennifer tells us why CPR is so vital during the first few moments after cardiac arrest, provides guidelines and tips on how to perform CPR, and talks about life-saving measures that we all should take, be it to help others or ourselves.
Don’t be caught unprepared if you find yourself in a situation where someone has lost consciousness and stopped breathing. Listen now for an episode that could truly save a life.
Jennifer Oldham, MSN, RN, CEN, is a cardiovascular quality and innovation nurse program manager at ChristianaCare’s Center for Heart & Vascular Health. Jennifer has dedicated the last three decades to teaching others about harnessing the power of CPR to save patients and loved ones.
