First Aid CPR AED Ohio becomes 33rd state
to offer CPR training for students

Coming in at No. 33, Ohio is the newest state to
add CPR training to the curriculum for high
school students. The bill was signed Tuesday by
Gov. John Kasich. House Bill 113 is bipartisan,
common sense legislation that will have an
immediate impact for all communities across the
state, the bills co-sponsor, Rep. Nathan
Manning (R-North Ridgeville), said in an earlier
news release. Actual hands-on CPR training helps
to prepare individuals to help victims in a
severe moment of need. Rep. Cheryl Grossman
(R-Grove City) co-sponsored the bill and said the
goal is to train future generations. I believe
many lives will be saved as a result, she said
in a news release last month after the bill
passed the Ohio House and Senate.

As a result of the new legislation, which takes
effects with the 2017-2018 school year, more than
100,000 Ohio high school graduates each year will
be trained in CPR. As part of the training,
students will also learn how to use an automated
external defibrillator, or AED. The law also
requires AED training for school district
employees every five years. Doylestown, Ohio,
councilman Tony Lindeman personally believes in
the importance of the law. In 2012, he suffered a
sudden cardiac arrest while running a marathon,
and his life was saved by nurses who administered
CPR on the scene. Today the hard work and
efforts of this team paid off with Governor
Kasich signing HB 113, said Lindeman, who worked
alongside the American Heart Association to get
the bill passed. I will forever hold such
wonderful memories of knowing we helped save
more Ohio lives.

About 38 people each hour have a cardiac arrest
while not in a hospital, and nine of 10 do not
survive, according to AHA statistics. Bystander
CPR can double or even triple the victims
chances of survival. In April, Wisconsin, South
Carolina and Kentucky passed similar bills, and
Arizona joined the ranks in May. A bill to
require CPR training for students in Missouri
awaits the governors signature, and Michigan and
California are considering legislation. Learn
