IT IS FITTING AND PROPER THAT THE NATIONAL AUTOMOBILE DEALERS CHARITABLE FOUNDATION IS CURRENTLY DEVOTING A GREAT PART OF ITS RESOURCES TO THIS EMERGENCY CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION TRAINING PROGRAM.

(WE ALL KNOW) IF THE RIGHT KIND OF TREATMENT CAN BE GIVEN A HEART ATTACK VICTIM WITHIN SECONDS AFTER HE OR SHE IS STRICKEN, THE CHANCES ARE GOOD THAT THEIR LIFE CAN BE SAVED. CPR TRAINING TEACHES A PERSON HOW TO KEEP THE HEART BEATING WHILE PROFESSIONAL HELP IS COMING.

SINCE THE MASSIVE INVOLVEMENT OF AMERICANS TRAINING IN CPR, THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN LONG-TERM SURVIVORS FROM VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION. THERE ARE MANY CASES SHOWING THAT MANY HEART ATTACK VICTIMS WHO OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE DIED HAVE BEEN SAVED AND RETURNED TO NORMAL ACTIVITIES BECAUSE OF THE CPR TRAINING GIVEN TO CITIZENS.

REMEMBER TOO, THAT THE FINAL PART OF ANY CPR TRAINING IS THE TRIP TO THE HOSPITAL WHICH MUST BE MADE IN A MOTOR VEHICLE. WITHOUT THIS TYPE OF TRANSPORTATION, CPR TRAINING WOULD BE FAIRLY USELESS, BECAUSE THE FOLLOW-UP TREATMENT IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE VICTIM'S RECOVERY. WHAT YOUR CPR-TRAINED PERSON BEGINS, THE PROFESSIONAL OF THE RESCUE SQUAD OR AMBULANCE TEAM WILL CONTINUE, AND THE HOSPITAL STAFF AND EQUIPMENT WILL COMPLETE.
