Today is World Restart a Heart Day. Around the world the message is the same one we say in every class: you do not need a medical degree to save someone.

Hands-only CPR is two steps.

1. Call 911 and put your phone on speaker.
2. Push hard and fast in the center of the chest — about 100 to 120 compressions a minute — and don't stop until help takes over.

That's it. No mouth-to-mouth for an adult who suddenly collapses. No certification required to try. The only real mistake is doing nothing because you're afraid of doing it wrong.

If two steps is all it takes, there's no reason for a single person on Delmarva not to know them.

Make today the day. Call 302-470-2601 or visit cprdelmarva.com to book a class.

Quick question: at work, at your gym, at your kid's school — where's the AED?

If you had to think about it, you're not alone. AEDs are often mounted in plain sight and still get walked past every day.

Here's why it matters. In sudden cardiac arrest, CPR keeps blood moving, but an AED is what can shock the heart back into a normal rhythm. Every minute without one lowers the chance of survival.

And if you've ever worried about using one: AEDs are built for bystanders. Turn it on and it talks you through every step. It checks the heart rhythm on its own and only delivers a shock if one is needed.

This week, find the AED at the places you spend the most time. It takes 30 seconds.

This Friday is World Restart a Heart Day, a global push to get ordinary people comfortable with CPR. Before it gets here, it's worth knowing what actually saves someone.

It's a chain, and it only holds if every link does:

1. Call 911. Get help moving before you do anything else.
2. Start compressions. Hard and fast in the center of the chest.
3. Get an AED. It reads the rhythm itself and won't shock someone who doesn't need it.
4. Hand off to EMS. They take over with advanced care.

Here's the number that explains the urgency: for every minute that passes without CPR or defibrillation, the chance of survival drops roughly 7 to 10%. But when a bystander starts compressions right away, survival can double or even triple.

Links one through three are you.

Want to be a link that holds? Call 302-470-2601 or visit cprdelmarva.com.

People use these two terms like they're interchangeable. They aren't, and the difference changes what you're supposed to do.

A heart attack is a plumbing problem. Blood flow to part of the heart gets blocked. The person is usually awake and talking, often with chest pain, shortness of breath, or pain running down an arm. They need an ambulance, fast.

Sudden cardiac arrest is an electrical problem. The heart's rhythm fails and it stops pumping. Within seconds the person collapses, stops responding, and stops breathing normally. They will not talk to you. They will not tell you what hurts.

That's the tell. If someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally, that's cardiac arrest — and it needs hands on the chest right now, not wait-and-see.

Knowing the difference is step one. Knowing what to do next is what we teach. Call 302-470-2601 or visit cprdelmarva.com.

If you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse, you don't need to remember a long checklist. Hands-Only CPR comes down to two steps.

Call 911. Or point at someone and tell them to call — "You, in the blue shirt, call 911."

Push hard and fast in the center of the chest. Heel of one hand on the middle of the chest, other hand on top, elbows locked, and push down about two inches. Aim for 100 to 120 pushes a minute — the beat of "Stayin' Alive" is right on tempo.

Keep going until help arrives or an AED is ready to use.

You won't make things worse by trying. Doing nothing is the only wrong answer.

Reading about it helps. Practicing it on a mannequin is what makes it stick. Call 302-470-2601 or visit cprdelmarva.com to book a class.

Fire Prevention Week runs October 4th through the 10th, and this year's focus is lithium-ion batteries — the ones in your phone, your laptop, your kid's scooter, the cordless drill in the garage.

Smoke alarms and extinguishers get all the attention, and they've earned it. But there's a second half to a fire plan that almost nobody drills: what happens in the minutes after everyone is out.

Burns get cooled with running water — not ice, not butter, not an ointment. Smoke inhalation can look fine at first and turn worse an hour later. And in a real evacuation people trip, cut themselves, and go into shock.

Knowing how to get everyone out is step one. Knowing what to do once you're out is step two.

We teach step two. Call 302-470-2601 or visit cprdelmarva.com.

Every October, communities around the world spend a month talking about something most people would rather not think about: a heart that stops without warning.

Sudden cardiac arrest doesn't announce itself. There's no chest-clutching moment, no time to drive to a hospital. The person collapses, stops responding, and stops breathing normally — and from that second forward, the clock is the only thing that matters. More than 70% of these happen outside a hospital. In living rooms, on job sites, at ball fields.

What decides the outcome usually isn't the ambulance. It's whoever happens to be standing closest.

We'll be at the Delmar Public Library this Saturday, October 3rd at 11:00 AM with free hands-on CPR and AED practice — no registration needed. Or call 302-470-2601 or visit cprdelmarva.com to book a class.

September is almost gone — and if your certification is expiring, you don't want to start October scrambling.

Here's how it works: complete your AHA HeartCode course online first, then come in for your hands-on skills check. Finishing the online portion is what makes you eligible — and once it's done, no appointment is needed for the skills check itself.

Our walk-in HeartCode Skills Check-Off runs Tuesday and Thursday, 8 AM–5 PM, for $40. It's the fastest way to keep your card valid before the fall rush picks up.

Finish your HeartCode online, then stop by CPR Delmarva in Milford. Call 302-470-2601 with questions or see details at cprdelmarva.com.
