CPRBy AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION NEWS

Jennifer Zanganeh was busy shepherding young
roller-skaters at her daughters 10th birthday
party recently in Southern California when she
heard her friend scream a troubling question
Hes not breathing? That was when she saw the
young boy, lying on the roller-rink floor,
unresponsive with blood coming out of his
nose. Zanganeh ran out to help her friend a
nurse who had started giving CPR to the boy.
Zanganeh works in the American Heart
Associations Emergency Cardiovascular Care
department the department that teaches CPR to
millions of people every year and is herself
trained in the lifesaving skill.

Zanganehs friend had given about five chest
compressions by the time Jennifer arrived to
relieve her. Zanganeh put her hands on the center
of his chest and started chest compressions,
while saying a silent prayer. As she counted to
30, all she thought about were the four words she
repeats with her daily work Do the quality
compressions! Do the quality compressions. Withi
n seconds, the boy started responding. After a
few minutes of trying to keep the child still,
EMS arrived and took over and the boy was taken
to the hospital. When I felt his heartbeat it
was indescribable, Zanganeh said of the
mid-September rescue. The boy was lucky that a
pair of lifesavers jumped in to perform CPR. Its
often not the case in out-of-hospital cardiac
arrests, but it makes a huge difference, doubling
or tripling the odds of survival. Thats a
promising stat considering that there are more
than 326,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests
occur in the U.S.
4
For Zanganeh who had never been called on to
use her important skills before the incident
reinforces the importance of knowing the two
simple steps of Hands-Only CPR Call 911 and push
hard and fast in the center of the chest until
paramedics arrive. Empower people to know what
to do, even if its to call 911 or give
compressions, just do something! she
said. Learn more about CPR. Bergenfield, NJ,
