is a testament to the Department of
Recreation and Parks and the Aquatics Division - and because of his
character, he knew exactly what to
do...When paramedics arrived at
the scene, it was because of Phillip's
heroism that the boy was alive. "
The Value of CPR
Phillip's speedy reaction to perform
CPR, although instinctual to him, is
nothing to overlook. According to the
American Heart Association, only 32
percent of cardiac arrest victims get
CPR from a bystander. It is also reported that 70 percent of Americans
feel helpless to act during cardiac
emergency because they either do
not know how to administer CPR or
their training has significantly lapsed.
These are especially alarming statistics considering that effective bystander CPR provided immediately
after cardiac arrest can double or triple a victim's chance of survival.
" You never know when you may
be the difference between life and
death. Just thinking about not having the skillset to try is scary, " says
Sutton. " We work in an industry
where the penalty for error can lead
to death. When kids think about going to the pool, they only think about
diving, swimming and fun times. We
think about prevention, safety and
people returning home in the same
condition or better after having an
enjoyable experience. Accidents
happen and when they do, we have
to be ready; we are first responders.
That's why we train, we observe
and we react. For the community,
learning CPR is a great idea and the
life you save is likely to be a family
member, a friend or in Phillip's case,
a neighbor. "
