Last night I received my CPR and First Aid certification. I took it at Springfield College with Coach Klatka who is the men's head track and field coach. This class was extremely interesting and important to know. There are many situations where CPR and first aid are vital to know in order to save someones life. Coach Klatka taught us what to do in all of the following situation: drowning, choking, broken back or neck, heart attacks, strokes, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, burns, and many other situations. Another important note that I learned is that once a persons heart stops, the loss of oxygenated blood can cause permanent brain damage and even death. Early intervention of CPR can help keep oxygenated blood flow to many vital organs, that's why it is crucial to know how to administer CPR. I believe that every one should be required to get CPR and first aid certifications. You'll never know it but you just might save someones life someday.
