Would you know what to do if:

• you are alone and have a heart attack?
• you are with someone having a heart attack or stroke?
• you are alone and choking?
• a family member is choking at the dinner table?
• a drowning occurs in the backyard pool?

"Emergencies don't take place in the Emergency Room," says Donna Sena, RN. "Seconds count, and knowing CPR and emergency response measures such as the Heimlich maneuver saves lives."
