Welcome to the Civilian Medical Podcast episode 081       Opening: “You never know when you’ll be the First Responder” Core framing Most cardiac arrest victims are not found by EMS. They are found by bystanders. “The first five minutes are up to the bystander, and that determines survival”     Why the Guidelines Changed Key point The American Heart Association didn’t change CPR because civilians were doing it wrong— they changed it because stress breaks memory. 2020 vs 2025 framing 2020: Correct, but cognitively complex 2025: Correct and easier to recall under pressure “In emergencies, complexity kills time—and time kills.” When you learn CPR, you are not learning it to save a stranger; it’s most likely to be a family member.       The Big Shift: One Model for Every Emergency Chain of Survival 2020 Different chains depending on age and setting 2025 One chain. Every person. Every place. “If you remember one thing: recognize → compress → shock.”     Choking: What changed 2020 Abdominal thrusts emphasized Back blows inconsistently taught for adults 2025 Adults & children: 5 back blows → 5 abdominal thrusts Infants: 5 back blows → 5 chest thrusts Why EMS cares Rhythm matters under stress. “Think of it like CPR for choking—structured, repeatable, automatic.”     Opioid Overdose 2020 Naloxone discussed, but not central 2025 Naloxone clearly included without replacing CPR Key teaching Naloxone does not restart a stopped heart. CPR and AED always come first. Soundbites “Naloxone wakes breathing—not circulation.” “Narcan doesn’t buy you out of CPR.”       What EMS Hopes You’ll Stop Overthinking CPR Quality Unchanged science Push hard Push fast Don’t stop unless you must 2025 emphasis Start early > start perfect “You cannot make them more dead.”     Dispatcher CPR: The Invisible Teammate Why this matters Dispatchers now teach off the same simplified framework Civilians who know the 2025 model cooperate faster “The guidelines were written with the idea that the dispatcher is on speakerphone.”     What This Means for You (Practical Takeaways) Actionable conclusions You don’t need to be a healthcare provider to do CPR You need the right equipment and the right training What training is Dietrich doing in his community? “Confidence saves more lives than certification.” “You don’t rise to the occasion—you fall to your level of preparation.” Final line “If EMS could speak to every bystander before an emergency, this is what we’d say: You already know enough to save a life; do CPR.”     Medical Gear Outfitters Use Code CIVILIANMEDICAL for 10% off    Skinny Medic - @SkinnyMedic | @skinny_medic | Medical Gear Outfitters   Bobby - @rstantontx | @bobby_wales
