Random SPN Prompt #277

Random SPN Prompt: Dean looked down at his hands, trying to gauge his position. He glanced to his left, seeing if Cas was faring any better, then to his right, marveling at the confidence in his brother's stance. He sighed, looking back down and making a slight adjustment. He tried to ignore how much his knees hurt, they had been on them so long.

He looked up when he realized Eileen was looking at him expectantly. "Right." He said, straightening his arms. He centered himself again, looked down at the mannequin, and began CPR. -

(Compression only CPR drastically improves the survivability if someone's heart stops. It's likely to be a loved one of yours rather than a stranger. The video is 1 minute 41 seconds. That less than two minutes will MORE THAN DOUBLE a person's chance of survival. Video: https://youtu.be/WvU1p5WQonA )

Listening to an episode of Radiolab called How to Save a Life. And thinking about how very thankful I am that I've had access to regular first aid/CPR classes for the last *20 years* through my work.

There are people in my building who go out on survey vessels every year, and so at least two people became actual certified *instructors* so we could had yearly classes without even having to host an outside person to teach. And even though I don't go out on boats, they throw the classes open to everyone in the building.

I've done the old school compressions-and-breaths on dummies so many times now, and the updated compressions-only/hands-only system as well. I've had a chance to get that movement and rhythm into my bones, to feel how exhausted you get after only 2 minutes so I'm ready and not surprised by it. I've seen all the videos of wacky staged workplace injury hijinks so many times. Even though I'm a theater person and being loud and bossy isn't scary to me, I still take comfort in the rehearsal - "YOU! Call 911! YOU! Get the first aid kit..!"

There was a season where everyone seemed to be pregnant at my workplace. The guys brought in *infant rescussi-annies* for us. No babies would EVER be going out in a boat but they taught us how to do CPR on an infant anyway.

I forget how uncommon this is. That not everyone has had so much access to these classes - not only free for me to take, but done during *paid work time*, that the lessons begin to feel like second nature.

In the Radiolab episode, they mention that the odds of surviving a heart incident are something like 8%, because the public really just doesn't have CPR training. But in casinos the odds go up PAST 50%! There's old people! There's stress! There's a higher chance that someone is going to have a heart incident! But there's also cameras! And every worker in the place has been trained in CPR! So if you're not in a hospital, your next best place to have a heart attack is in a casino. 😂

We've all seen CPR depicted on TV. You know what it looks like, but the feel is so much different - harder, more work, and on TV it almost always results in the victim suddenly breathing again within seconds. In real life... In the Radiolab episode, they talk about a woman who did CPR on her husband for ten minutes before the EMT's arrived. Ten minutes. An eternity. And even then it took five shocks to get him back.

But he wouldn't have come back at all if she hadn't worked her ass off for those ten minutes.

If you can get yourself to a class, for the love of everything please do. And even if you can't, if you're in the wild and see someone go down - action is better than inaction. You don't even have to do *breaths*. Just interlace your hands and push hard and fast in the center of their chest. Just push. You could save a life.

...I don't really know where I'm going with this. It just brought up memories of witnessing someone totally bite it on their bike just DAYS after one of my first aid courses. No helmet, full faceplant on concrete. And me and my friend just leapt into it without thinking. I told her to hit the hazard lights and bailed out of the car before it even really stopped fully. The gal was rattled but ok. Mostly road rash. But we were able to assess the situation and keep traffic away while wrangling her, her bike and her dog. It wasn't just the theater kid in me that did that, it was the first aid classes too.

Get trained if you can. 💙

Mother of 3-year-old drowning victim brings change to Washington state water safety with ‘Yori’s Law’ – Seattle Washington reporting

Chezik Tsunoda lost her 3-year-old in 2018, and since then has made it her mission to prevent more child drownings in Washington.

– "We were in a backyard pool with kids and adults,” Yori’s mother, Chezik Tsunoda, said. “At some point Yori was face down in the water."  Tsunoda said there’s guilt that comes with that tragic day.“

There's a chance there's something I could have done different to have a different outcome, and you want to scream that to the world," Tsunoda said.

Since 2018, Tsunoda has committed to learning more about water safety. She quickly discovered that children of color drown at a significantly higher rate.

She founded the non-profit No More Under to prevent more child drownings.

> The non-profit has secured hundreds of free swim lessons and has given away thousands of life jackets.

No More Under is also installing loaner life jacket stations at several beaches in Bellevue."There's so many barriers in learning to swim,” Tsunoda said. “Whether that's financial, transportation or even cultural barriers. We're really trying to break that down."

√   The leading cause of death for children ages one to four is drowning, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

May 15 will become Water Safety Day in Washington, and Tsunoda hopes that will lead to more education in schools in the coming years. "It should be involved in the curriculum,” Tsunoda said. “A part of physical education or part of health."

Tsunoda released a new documentary called Drowning in Silence, which tells her story and what she calls the silent epidemic of childhood drowning.
