Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, better known as CPR, is a practice used in emergency situations to help someone when their heart has stopped beating and they are unconscious – a condition known as cardiac arrest, often associated with gasping or no breathing at all. CPR is the act of pushing down on someone’s chest to help pump the heart manually, allowing blood and oxygen to continue moving through the body. Even if the blood flow created by CPR is only partial, this procedure can double, if not triple, the chances of survival.

Chain of Survival

The American Heart Association (AHA) uses the Chain of Survival, a series of steps to take if you suspect someone is having a cardiac arrest.

1. Call or ask someone to call 911 and alert Emergency Medical Services (EMS) of the unresponsive person immediately.
2. Perform CPR to the best of your ability. Any attempt of CPR is better than no attempt at all. Also, Good Samaritan laws are in place to protect bystanders that act in good faith by providing reasonable first aid.
3. Use an automated external defibrillator (AED) if one is near. An AED is a medical device often found in public spaces that can measure heart rhythms and produce an electric shock to the heart. AEDs have straightforward instructions for anyone to follow.
4. EMS will take over once they arrive.

By following these measures, you are contributing to a more positive outcome for the victim.

Performing CPR

It is recommended for the general public to use Hands-Only CPR, or CPR with compressions only and no breaths. To perform CPR on adults, follow these instructions:

1. Place one hand on the center of the chest and your other hand on top of that hand, lacing the fingers.
2. Use the heels of your hands to push hard and fast, keeping your arms straight and shoulders over your hands allowing your body weight to help with compressions.
3. Compressions should be two inches deep and occur at least 100 times per minute. Think of the song “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees as recommended by the AHA.
4. Do not stop until an AED is ready to use, EMS arrives, or if the victim displays an obvious sign of life.

Minutes Matter

Brain damage is possible after only four minutes of a stopped heart. After six minutes, this possibility increases, and after 10, it is almost certain. The immediate use of CPR is absolutely vital to help save someone’s life when experiencing a stopped heart.

While this column provides the basics of CPR, it is advantageous to seek out an official training to practice with a CPR mannequin and a trained professional. This gives you the opportunity to see what it takes to perform high quality chest compressions and gain confidence if you should ever have to use CPR.

The Shania Twain and Garth Brooks Tribute Show is at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 3 in the Coolidge Theatre at the Deane Center for the Performing Arts at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro.

Donna Huber looks and sounds like Shania Twain and Les Smith like Garth Brooks.

Smith is the leader of Fresh Horses; a high-energy show band that performs Garth Brooks hits and also backs Donna Huber as she performs Shania Twain hits.

Huber was living and working in Canada when she began receiving compliments from strangers about how much she looked like Shania Twain.

After watching Twain’s videos over and over, countless hours of practicing to sing like her, emulate her moves and the way she presented herself, Donna met with an agent in the music business. The agent listened to her sing, and took note of her uncanny resemblance to one of country music’s most beautiful and successful women. It was obvious that Huber was about to embark on something that would change her life forever.

They worked to put a band together, practiced for a few months, and the rest is history.

Huber has been on the road since March of 1996 as the most successful tribute act in Canada and throughout the United States and Europe.

Smith looks and sounds so much like Brooks that people often comment that they forget they are watching a tribute act.

Fresh Horses tours North America, pleases crowds with their music and entertaining show and has received excellent reviews along with a great following of fans of all ages.

Admission is $30. For tickets or more information, visit deanecenter.com or call 570-724-6220.
