Cardiopulmonary
At Southeast Georgia Health System our Cardiopulmonary Services focus on
the testing, diagnosis and therapeutic treatment of people with lung and
heart conditions, including rehabilitation programs designed to help people
with these conditions return to a better quality of life.
Hands-Only CPR
Many people who experience cardiac arrest at home, work or in a public
location die because they don't receive immediate CPR from someone
on the scene. The person in need could be a stranger or loved one, but
the person who has the power to save their life could be you. If you see
a teen or adult suddenly collapse, call 911, then push hard and fast in
the center of the chest to the beat of the classic disco song "Stayin'
Alive".
