\"\"<\/a>Our USA side have an excellent story on how training pays off in saving a life.\u00a0As a nurse, Nancy has been trained in CPR many times throughout her career. It was the day after her most recent re-certification that she was called upon to put her skills into use. And it hit close\u00a0to home.<\/p>\n

Just a few weeks ago, Nancy and her family went out for Mother\u2019s Day. During the meal, Nancy noticed her mother acting strangely. It then occurred to her that her mother\u00a0may be choking. Thinking back to the CPR training she had taken only the day before, Nancy jumped into action and began the Heimlich maneuver and instructed her brother to call 9-1-1. Before he was able to call, Nancy\u2019s efforts were successful and her mother began to breathe again.<\/p>\n

Nancy was able to remain calm in what would have been a very difficult situation for most of us. She explained that the actions just came naturally because of the training she had received. Reflecting on the whole experience, and looking back on\u00a0all of her\u00a0rescue efforts over her career, this time was different. \u201cWhen it\u2019s a family member, it kind of puts a new light on it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Nancy reiterated to us that she thinks CPR training should be taught more widely,\u00a0especially in our high schools<\/a>. \u201cYou just never know when you\u2019re going to run into that situation,\u201d she said. \u00a0See more stories on Roy On Rescue<\/a><\/p>\n
