Steve, just be sure now that AT LEAST ONE OTHER TEAM MEMBER receives instruction / coaching. All that information you now know and have shared is useless if YOU are the victim, and cannot speak. It happens….

Great post! Thanks for sharing your experience. The comments also have been most valuable.

Also – great inspiration, that you are on an NSOGASA (Not-so-Old Geezers But Still Active)team.

Thank you. This is very useful. Just a little bit of info and we can make such a difference.

Below are some tips I was e-mailed on recognising a stroke

Cheers,
Juliet

RECOGNIZING A STROKE – remember the ‘3′ steps, STR. Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (coherently) (i.e. It is sunny out today)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke ——– Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another ’sign’ of a stroke is this: Ask the person to ’stick’ out his tongue. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.

Nice information you got on the AED. I had lessons before on the AED but I hope that I don’t need to use it though.

Oh dear … I have been meaning to do a first aid course for years but never seem to actually do it. At least I know a little more now, thank you.

Hats off to you at 63 years old and staying physically fit. No, it isn’t old but it’s good to see that as the years have gone by you have taken care of yourself.

Thanks for the great info.

I tend to agree with Mark. In fact between AED shocks, if a shock is not advised, then you are to proceed with CPR until it takes the vitals again and decides if a shock is advised.
