Getting to The Heart of the Matter
Cardiovascular
Pulmonary Resuscitation, more commonly known as CPR, is a
skill everyone needs to know.
CPR is potentially life-saving and can be of great use to
a victim in an emergency situation. In December, Bob
Bowden from the UH Environmental and Physical
Safety Department conducted an informal CPR class
in the basement of Bates Hall.
Bowden demonstrated the proper way of per-
forming CPR on a CPR
dummy to residents attending the class. After he instructed them on the methods of the Heimlich maneuver, Bowden allowed residents to attempt rescuing
each other from choking.
JoAnn Stephens, senior journalism major was particularly enthusiastic about getting to perform the Heimlich,
"I saved my grandmother's
poodle, once, by using the
'doggie' Heimlich, I guess. It
was cool learning how to do it
on humans."
Kathleen McKenzie,
sophomore pre-law major also
had comments on the event,
Tm glad they had a CPR
training class. Residents live
in such close quarters, CPR is
a valuable skill to have in
case of emergencies."
The class was co-
sponsored by resident Felicia
Darden and RA Thasunda
Brown. When asked why she
wanted to help bring this
function to residents, Felicia
said, "Learning CPR is so
important. You have the
power to potentially save
someone's life. We needed to
know where we could go on
campus to learn it."
No one can dispute
that CPR can save lives and
be instrumental in emergency
situations. The more people
that are licensed to practice
CPR, the more life-savers that
roam the streets. And in the
end, that benefits us all.
