In a moment of crisis, can you act? 💓 What you need to know now about the "3 minutes that save lives"

Hello, this is Miyutan. 💕

This might be sudden, but have you ever encountered a situation like this?

You are walking down the street, and the person in front of you suddenly collapses.

A child is lying limp by the poolside.

A family member clutches their chest and collapses onto the sofa.

……It's a moment you don't want to think about. But that is exactly why I want to talk about this today. 🌸

Working in radio, I often cover information related to "community safety." ✨

Among those topics, there is one that has struck a chord with me time and time again.

And that is the topic of "life-saving." 💓

After a person goes into cardiac arrest, the chances of survival drop significantly in just a few minutes.

The average time it takes for an ambulance to arrive is about 9 minutes.

But... once oxygen supply to the brain stops, irreversible damage begins within 4 to 5 minutes. 😢

⏱️ What can you do during "those 9 minutes"?

What makes a big difference here is the action taken by the people on the spot. 💪

It is said that simply performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) correctly can increase the chances of survival by about two to three times.

And nowadays, AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) are installed in many places. Stations, schools, supermarkets, convenience stores... I'm sure there is one near you too. ✨

AEDs are actually not difficult to use because the voice guidance tells you everything!

But most people feel that it's scary because they've never used one before. 😊

🌿 "Knowing" saves lives

Since I introduced information about life-saving courses on the radio, I have received many comments from listeners saying, "I'm glad I took the course!" 💕

"It's surprisingly not that difficult when you actually try it."

"I didn't know that the AED tells you everything through voice guidance."

"I think I'll teach my children about this."

Every time I hear such comments, I feel glad that I shared this information. 🌸

💓 Take advantage of courses offered by your local fire department or the Japanese Red Cross Society

If you want to be prepared for an emergency, try participating in a 'life-saving course' regularly held by your local fire department or the Japanese Red Cross Society. ✨

Many courses are free or cost only a few hundred yen, and some even provide a certificate of completion.

In about three hours, you can learn the basics of CPR and how to use an AED. 😊

🌸 A word from Miyutan

'Preparing for the unexpected' is just like insurance; knowing about it is what matters. 💕

But unlike insurance, it has the potential to directly save someone's life.

A little bit of courage and knowledge might just become a 'miracle' for someone else. ✨

Believing in that, I continue to share my voice today.

Thank you for reading until the end. 💓
