Alecz Day Talks to Greg Page About Surviving Sudden Cardiac Arrest at Cricket Training

Alecz Day was just 29 years old when he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest while at cricket training. Thankfully, someone called emergency services straight away, and some of his teammates knew CPR. This is part of this story shared with Greg Page, Founder of Heart of the Nation.
Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere and at any time.
Heart of the Nation promotes the Chain of Survival - CALL PUSH SHOCK - and those who play their part in it.
Remember, any attempt at resuscitation is better than none because once someone needs resuscitation, it doesn't get better for them WITHOUT an attempt.

Greg Page The Original Yellow Wiggle

As my brain tells me, Safety is our first concern...especially for our body and heart! I'm very glad that percentage of AEDs, albeit very slow, is rising just to make our world a safer, better, and happier place. Let's hope that we can get our world filled with AEDs and learn CPR to get trained for making out places safer and better. Good Luck to all at Heart of the Nation and everywhere else, we must keep safety as our first concern after all.

Cardiac arrests are deadlier than covid! I actually know a lot about CPR, my job in real life requires me to know CPR and how to use AEDs! I know I’ve already talked with Greg about this on his personal TH-cam channel, but the positioning of the AED pads on a victim is important. From my understanding, I believe AEDs have settings on them so that the person using it can monkey with it depending on how little or big of a shock to give if the victim needs to be shocked. All victims are different shapes and sizes, so it’s important to set the AED so that it can advice the right amount of shock to advise. For regular adults, one pad would be placed above the right chest and the second pad would go below the left chest, both pads being slanted on an angle. For a pregnant woman, an infant, and a small child in cardiac arrest, you would place one pad on the front of them and the other pad on their back with the pads facing up and down! The ONLY times you would stop doing CPR is if the victim revives and is breathing, the scene becomes unsafe, someone of higher authority (EMS) arrives, or if you’re simply too tired to continue! And if a breath does not go through when using a resuscitation mask, you would retilt the head and then try blowing air into the victim again. If the breath still does not go in, then you would do 30 chest compressions and then finger sweep the mouth. Once the mouth is cleared, give 2 initial breaths and if the breaths go in, continue with either rescue breathing or CPR, which ever of the 2 you left off on.
Hope this helps you out. Best wishes,
Michael, the USA
