CPR Offered Public A three-hour lesson in CPR ( c a r d i o p u l m o n a r y r e s - suscitation) will be offered to the public at McHenry hospital from 7 until 10 p.m. July 26, according to Mary Spraetz, RN, critical care nurse and coordinator of the Mobile ICU (paramedic) program for McHenry County-western Lake county. "Interested citizens can learn how to apply CPR to persons who have stopped breathing. The most effective way to learn is to attend one of these three-hour sessions of instruction and individualized practice," Mrs Spraetz said. "The goal- of the M!CU program in this area is to teach at least one in every three citizens how to start CPR and maintain it until a rescue squad arrives on the scene." Although ambulance squads arrive within a few minutes of being summoned, they may be too late to save someone whose breathing has stopped due to drowning, heart attack or other trauma, Mrs. Spraetz added. "The critical moments for your loved one may be those moments before a rescue squad arrives. This is why it is im­ perative for everyone to learn CPR " Registrations are being taken now for the July 26 class and for s u c c e e d i n g s e s s i o n s .
