Spend Friday in Heppner 1 Answer tto a traced v Imagine being placed in a situation where a victim's life hinges on your knowledge of basic life-sustaining skills. The thought probably fright ens most people but an ever -increasing number are realizing that their applicaton of cardio pulmonary resusitation (CPR) techniques could turn a possibly Memorial Hospital. Linda has conducted CPR classes for the past two years here and estimates , she has certified "close to 125 people" in that time. With the increased interest expressed lately, Linda is conducting more classes than ever and will continue to staff kitchen help and office staff included have participated in CPR training. "There's a few who don't have it yet but we'll get to them," Linda said. One person who is glad she has the training is Linda Dunaway, a nurse at the hospital. Only a few days after "We have our cardio equip ment in one room but a patient could stop breathing anywhere in the hospital," she said. "Every patient who could have problems is not going to be close to the equipment when they need it." A major advan tage of CPR is that the life-saving procedure can be started as soon as the breathing problem is realized. Properly trained individuals should re- quire only a matter of seconds to clear the air passage and begin the process. Drills are held at the hospital periodically to simulate emer gency situations and keep the staff in practive for administer ing CPR. "Even if it's only one life that can be saved once in a while, it's still well worth the training required," Rosie said. CPR can make the difference. ri m -a a -a at tne side want sale. j ...

CPR is a first aid procedure consisting of recognizing res piratory and cardiac arrest and applying the necessary artific ial means to keep the victim supplied with circulating oxy- schedule classes according to public demand. Classes consist of six hours of instruction, divided into two sessions. A minimum of six persons is required for a class and Linda and her assistant instructor, Richard Cox, can she had completed the course in May a patient went into cardiac arrest and Linda, along with another RN and a doctor spent the next hour and a half keeping the patient alive by CPR. Unfortunately the patient was lost due to other complications 'Even if it's only one life that can be saved once in a while it's still worth the training experience. gen. The procedure involves mouth-to-mouth resusitation coupled with chest compres sions to keep the person breathing. It can be used in emergency situations until the victim recovers sufficiently to be transported or until advan ced life support is available. Public interest in CPR has increased dramatically across the country and the level-headed use of CPR techniques has been credited with saving countless lives. CPR can be invaluable in treating many emergency situations ranging from heart attacks to persons experiencing breathing diffi culties from blocked air ways to shock victims of auto accidents. Heppner is fortunate to have a qualified instructor of CPR in Linda Connor, a Licensed Practical Nurse at Pioneer accommodate up to 20 per class. There is a $5 charge per person and you must be at least 13 years old to participate. Organization and groups are encouraged to set up classes for their members or employes.

After successfully completing the class, the par ticipant is certified in CPR by the Oregon Heart Association. The value of CPR is highly regarded at Pioneer Hospital where virtually the entire but as Linda said, "If I hadn't taken the class, I wouldn't have had the first notion of what to do". Rosie Smith, director of nurses at Pioneer, agrees that CPR training can be extremely important, especially in a nursing home situation such as Pioneer.
