Can Anyone Use An AED?

In this mobile vlog, Roy wanted to address the AED question asked by two different people at almost the same time. Though there may be slightly different legal rules in the U.K. Compared to the U.S., both countries follow closely related ILCOR recommendations/guidelines. Always check your local laws to be sure, but in this episode, Roy addresses what the 2010 guidelines changed and why you can probably use an AED without any formal training. Let him know what you think of his more mobile format. He’s trying a new app that would allow him to record and post from almost anywhere and anytime. Not as finished as the in-studio videos but let’s him be more efficient. He will use the other format too but will sneak in some simpler ones when time is crunched. Your comments will be appreciated.

When A Person’s Choking, How Do I Know When It Comes Out?

In this episode of RoyOnRescue, Roy answers a question that came in via email regarding a situation where the person did the abdominal thrusts but the object did not come out to the best of their knowledge. Should they keep doing chest compressions or is there something else that can be done to get the foreign body out of the victim’s airway. Be sure to watch this episode to get the answer.
