Years after her mom had a heart attack, Jacey Karius is helping others in the Emergency Room at IU Health. She says heart issues can affect anyone -- and wants you to learn hands-only CPR.
We use our hands for so many things and they even have the power to save lives.Karius said she grew up never wanting to be a nurse until she saw the impact nurses had on her mom’s life.
“I was 10 years old. She was 26 at the time. Super young, super out of the blue, not expected, no symptoms, nothing. No warning and just one night she collapsed on her bathroom floor at 26 years old,” said Karius.She said luckily her stepdad is in the medical field and knew what to do. “He was able to perform CPR on her right away and he knew what to do, and without that I don’t think she would be here today without that fast intervention and knowing what to do,” Karius said.She said in her few months in the ER she’s learned heart issues can impact anyone.
“It effects all ages. It’s not just a certain age it can be from a child all the way to an older adult,” said Karius.“It can be intimidating but it’s super easy to learn and most likely you’ll be able to use it on a loved one,” said Karius, “it’s proven that if at least one person in your house knowns CPR you’ll be able to double their chances of survival.”There are two hands-only CPR kiosk at the Indianapolis International Airport, so you can learn hands-only CPR while waiting for your flight.
