Will you be Ready When the Call Comes?
The time to learn a lifesaving skill is before you need it
Johnson County, Kansas, Med-Act ambulance service reports the average response time for its highest priority calls in Mill Creek Rifle Club's vicinity is 6 minutes and 18 seconds. The stated goal is to respond to 90 percent of those calls within 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, a child who is choking or an adult suffering a heart attach who is deprived of oxygen can begin to suffer irreversible brain damage after as little as 3 to 5 minutes, with more severe and permanent damage becoming likely after longer periods without oxygen. By 10 minutes, survival is doubtful and severe and permanent brain damage, such as a coma, is almost inevitable.
