Heart Massage,
Without Surgery,
Is Saving Lives
By The Medical Association
Os Georgia
Someday you may be called
upon to start a heart beating
again. Until recently, the task
of doing suoh a thing was con
sidered strictly a job for a
physician. But hearts often stop
beating when a physician isn’t
nearby, and unless someone
who is nearby acts promptly,
the person whose heart is
stopped can’t be revived.
Physicians have started
hearts beating again in a num
ber of ways in the past. Occa
sionally they started them up
again by pounding on the pa
tient’s chest, by shooting medi
cine into the heart muscle or
by stimulating it with electric
shocks. More recently they
have performed “open heart”
massage. This method neces
sitates opening the chest and
massaging the heart directly.
But over the past few years
physicians at Johns Hopkins
Hospital in Baltimore, Md., de
veloped what is called the
closed-chest heart massage. The
technique is very simple. Any
one — not just a physician or
nurse—can perform it. Each of
us should know how to do it
in the event of an emergency.
Knowing it. a bystander, rela
tive or friend of the victim can
take action when cardiac ar
rest occurs.
This is not to say that eadh
attempt to start a heart beat
ing again will be successful. It
won’t start a heart when dis
ease or injury have caused too
much damage for the person to
live. But such damage isn’t al
ways present by any means.
Heart attacks, electrocutions,
drownings, shock, poisonings,
suffocations, freezing, drug re
actions —these are just some of
the conditions in which the
“arrested” heart may well be
capable of beating again in an
able body.
It is well known that the
organs of the body must have
blood to function and that the
brain can’t go without fresh
blood for longer than about
five minutes without being
permanently damaged. There
fore, if heart massage is to be
attempted, it must be begun
soon after it stops beating.
External heart massage is
based on the principle of the
bellows-like action of the chest
cage. Movements of the heart
are limited by the sternum or
breastbone in the front, by the
vertebral bodies in the back
and by the pericardium or sac
around the heart. When pres
sure is applied to the sternum,
the heart is compressed and
blood is forced out of the heart.
When the pressure is released,
bhx>d comes into the heart. A
lot of blood can be pumped
around the patient's circulatory
system by external heart mas
sage.
Before administering extern
al heart massage, the patient
should be placed on a rigid
support, not on a bed. The op
erator puts the heel of one hand
over the lower third of the pa
tient's sternus and places his
other hand on top of it. He
presses down firmly from a
vertide position This should
move the sternum one to two
inches towaid the vertebral
column. The hands are lifted
after each pressure stroke to
allow the chest to expand.
About 60 pressure strokes
। should be made each minute.
However too vigorous pres
। sures may do considerable
damage.
External heart massage ven
tilates the lungs to a limited
extent. But if two people are
present to help, one should do
the massage while the other
performs mouth-to-mouth ar
tificial respiration on the pa
tient. Both measures can be
continued for long periods of
time. Meanwhile, a phvsiclan
or ambulance can be called.
DOC MAG SAYS:
1. You mav save a life by
doing external heart massage
on someone whose heart has
stopped beating. Learn how to
do it properly.
2. Remember that nuick ac
tion is essential. The bodv
can't safelv go without blood

Safety Conditions for School
Announced After SHD Findings
Local officials charged with
the vital responsibility of
creating maximum safety con
ditions for school children on
their way to and from school
are confronted by a number of
questions as to how best to ac
complish this goal. For maxi
mum results, what is the ideal
speed limit for school areas
. . . the ideal length of the
speed zone . . . the most effec
tive type and location of traf
fic warning devices?
Studies conducted by the
State Highway Department in
dicate that there are no “blan
ket” answers to these ques
tions which are applicable in
every situation. Rather, each
individual situation is unique,
requiring “tailor-made” an
swers based on an engineering
study which considers all of
the elements in the problem
involved.
For example, while it was
once believed that 15 or 20
MPH speed limits posted in all
school areas was the best means
of obtaining speed reductions,
these studies indicate that
many school areas will require
higher speed limits. Granting
that some 20 MPH speed lim
its will be justified in some ex
treme cases, the studies proved
that safer traffic flow and low
er operating speeds resulted
from raising speed limits to as
much as 40 MPH in some
school areas.
This information is based on
studies conducted in the spring
and fall of 1962 at twelve lo
cations in six DeKalb County
school areas. DeKalb County
was selected because of its
concentrated effort toward
health topic of particular in
terest to you? If so, write your
request on a postcard and mail
it to “Doc MAG says”, Medical
Association of Georgia, 938

school safety, its practice of ap
plying blanket 20 MPH speed
limits in school areas, and the
willingness of DeKalb school
and government leaders to co
operate in such a study.
The findings of the DeKalb
County studies have been pub
lished under the title “Com

report is available to interest
ed local officials.
Recognizing that emphasis
