Town of Nashville Fire DepartmentAnd

Nash County Emergency ServicesPublic CPR Education Initiative

The Town of Nashville Fire Department announces the initiation of Operation HeartBeat, a chest compression-only Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) public education program. The community-wide initiative is designed to improve hospital cardiac arrest survival rates. The goal of this initiative is to reduce the barriers preventing members of the public from being trained in CPR and acting to revive a person suffering from sudden cardiac arrest. Operation Heartbeat provides compressions-only CPR training for members of the public through businesses, civic and community groups, churches, and individual sign-up. Nashville Fire Department is the pilot agency of the program designed and coordinated by Nash County Emergency Medical Services (EMS).

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the single greatest cause of death in the United States. Based on records, more than 550,000 adult Americans die of cardiovascular disease every year. About 330,000 of these deaths result from sudden cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest usually strikes without warning. When it hits, no matter how young or old, the victim loses consciousness and stops breathing. Most of these occur in the home, in the office and many other places. Nearly all of these cases result to death. But it does not have to be that way. According to www.americanheart.org, death from sudden cardiac arrest is not inevitable. When an adult suddenly collapses, immediate chest compressions can make the biggest difference in surviving a cardiac arrest. If more people know CPR more lives could be saved.

Effective bystander CPR provided immediately after cardiac arrest can double a victim’s chance of survival. Nearly anyone can do this and emergency responders needed the community’s help in initiating care for cardiac arrest patient. Everyone in Nash County is invited to join Operation HeartBeat and take 20 minutes to learn compression-only CPR and help dramatically increase cardiac arrest survival in our community. Statistics show cardiac arrest victims in Nash County receive bystander CPR in only 15% of the cases. But, we are optimistic that with Operation HeartBeat the citizens of Nashville and Nash County will actively participate in the compression-only CPR training program because of the life-saving benefit this provides for their family and friends.

Since cardiac arrest may occur anytime and at any place, it is beneficial that our citizens have the opportunity of learning CPR skills. The Nashville Fire Department will be providing free compression-only CPR educational sessions. The sessions will be scheduled for 20-30 minutes. This time frame removes the barrier of investing multiple hours to attend a tradition certification course and minimizes personnel and staffing issues at a businesses and fits easily into a meeting agenda or other events. Please contact the Town of Nashville Fire Department at 252 459 3017 to schedule your group for this life-saving training. You may also sign-up individually.

Again, sudden cardiac arrest usually strikes people of all ages without a warning. Thousands, even millions, of Americans have died from cardiovascular disease and sudden cardiac arrest. This is primarily because only few are trained and know the importance of CPR. The Town of Nashville Fire Department has set a goal of training 5% of the town’s population and increasing the survival rat of cardiac arrest by 5%. With the support of the community, we will be able to surpass this goal and save many lives. Please call today to schedule your compression-only CPR training. Together, we’ll make Nashville and Nash County not just a great place to live, but also a great place to survive cardiac arrest. The point of contact for further information is Nashville Fire Chief Randy Goodbord.

Sign-up by calling the Town of Nashville Fire Department at 252 459-3017.
