CPR during cardiac arrest: someone’s life is in your hands
Cardiac arrest is the ultimate 911 emergency. The heart stops sending blood to the body and brain, either because it is beating too fast and too erratically, or because it has stopped beating altogether. Oxygen-starved brain cells start to die. Death occurs in minutes — unless a bystander takes matters into his or her hands and starts cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

I recently booked to update my CPR certificate for work as a locum Practice Nurse in the Nelson- Tasman region, with Resus Nelson. At past updates I have attended with a resigned,'it has to be done' attitude, and was very pleasantly surprised at this one, to find a confident, knowledgable instructor, who updated my rusty skills in a competent and enjoyable manner. I left feeling that I had learnt a few new skills that would not be easily forgotten, and that the certificate I received meant more than just the necessary two yearly paperwork. I recommend Natalie to anyone wishing to update their CPR skills.- Jenn Bolderson RN
