I bet there are a few vans around with a good enough charging system that you can just break out the jumper cables... ;)

All joking aside, and although it would not have helped, there was a general feeling of hopelessness on not being able to assist Tank when he the ground @ the Michigan Natz........

This thread is trying to address that issue

That was the main reason for I want to do this Doc, It (Tank going down)) happened at the WVC camp and we had a couple of trained CPR guys right there immediatly. I am all for it and guess I am going to have to talk to a couple of the vendors here to see what kind of deal I can get on these.

I remember Mythbusters made a defibrillator to address some related myths. It would undoubtedly be cheaper to have a DIY one, but I'm not sure if we'd want to trust someone's life with it.

Again these dont shock unless needed (thats whats nice about them) and if I need it or even think I need it I would want you to try. Also we arent saying give it to anyone, every council has that one or two people responsible enough to hold it with them and use it if needed.


ooops sorry just reread your post you were talking about making one, yea I see what your saying then.

In Vanning we have several nurses that attend various events, and some higher level first aiders that may be able to take the course. After all Flight Attendants are trained in first aid and their use, so I cannot see why we cannot do the same.......

Ed is there any used equipment available from your suppliers ??

Defibs are a hard thing to come by. I will have to check next time they are at the hospital. Also, most hospitals dont use the portable defibs and we dont want to have to carry a large one that always has to be plugged in.

Having a defib machine is a good idea but working out the details could be a problem. My suggestion is that at least one member of each host club learns how to do CPR. Host clubs also need to have plans ready on what to do in an emergency so no time is wasted. I'm one of those "aging" vanners but I already have a pacer/defib(AICD)implanted.

What kind of training is needed for such a thing? Also can it hurt someone if used wrong or for the wrong reason?

I understand the reasoning behind having one, but also need to think about harm or law suits. It sucks that the world has come to this.


Actually you would be trained at a class, aboot 3 hours worth.
But it's fairly easy to use, basically idiot proof (or until a bigger idiot comes along).

I know how to use one and I am first aid and CPR adult and child certified as well, and can do basic first aid.

Had to be trained at my college I worked at, so if anything happens, let me know. And my wife was trained as a CRN as well.
