ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Todd Scott - First aid instructor
Todd Scott uses humor and pop culture to make CPR training more memorable.

Why you should listen

Todd Scott has been a CPR / first aid instructor for more than 23 years. In that time he has learned one thing: CPR classes are really boring. Not the subject matter; that's critically important. Especially to Scott, since his Dad died of a heart attack when he was a very young kid. And teaching other people how to use an automated external defibrillator AED is top of his list so they have the skills to one day save his life ... hopefully.

Other than being totally selfish and doing this to save his own, he is trying to make this subject engaging. Year after year the students get bored of being in CPR training, and they stop learning since they know the skills. Best practices in CPR do change over time, even of spans as short as five years, but people come into the classes knowing they know it all. Using humor and pop culture references that people can understand has helped to engage people. A universal love of toast and Star Wars can be used to help teach so many things.

Scott also has an extensive background as a naturalist, outdoor educator, underwater window washer (yes this is a thing), jewelry designer,  wilderness EMT, massage practitioner, professional duct tape artist (creating an NBA court-sized duct tape American flag), national spokesman, writer and photographer.

I don't know if you noticedniliona this or not.

sikuona hata AED moja pahala popote
00:22
I did not see a singlemoja AEDAED anywherepopote,

kitu ambacho kilishangaza sana
00:24
whichambayo was totallykabisa shockingkushangaza --
6
12474
1408
cha kushangaza kama kutokujua AED ni nini
00:25
almostkaribu as shockingkushangaza
as not knowingkujua what an AEDAED is,

ambayo nyinyi mwafahamu
00:28
whichambayo you guys do know.

Lakini kwa walio nyumbani
00:29
But for those at home,
9

AED ni kifaa
cha kupima na kurekebisha mapigo ya moyo
00:30
an AEDAED is an automatedautomatiska

or, as one of the guys I was teachingkufundisha
a classdarasa to referredinajulikana to it as:

au kama mwanafunzi wangu mmoja
alipenda kukiita
"Sanduku la moyo unaoshtuka"

"The shocky-hearty-boxshocky-hearty-sanduku thing."

ThoughIngawa, even if we --

2114
Ingawa, hata kama tuta --
00:54
I think worsembaya zaidi than not havingkuwa na an AEDAED
would be if there was one there,
20
42268
3839
Nafikiri kibaya kuliko kukosa AED
kingekuwa kama ingekuwepo moja pale
lakini, hakuna anayejua wapi inapatikana
00:58
but just, no one knewalijua where to find it.

Lakini nina uhakika stormtrooper atakauka
tu,
01:07
But I'm prettynzuri sure
that stormtrooperstormtrooper is going to be toasttoast,
25
55697
3178
vyovyote vile tuwe na AED ama la
01:10
regardlessbila kujali if we have an AEDAED or not,
26
58899
2185
01:13
sincetangu what happenshutokea is the chestkifua platesahani
is going to be quitekabisa hardngumu to get off,
27
61108
3717
sababu kitakachotokea ni kuwa
vazi la kifuani litakuwa gumu kulivua
na kama yule mjusi
01:16
and like that tauntauntauntaun,
28
64849
1990
01:18
the AEDAED has a very shortmfupi windowdirisha of time
at whichambayo it's highlysana effectiveufanisi.
29
66863
3412
AED ina muda mfupi sana
kuweza kuwa na ufanisi
01:22
In this casekesi -- basicallykimsingi, we'vetumekuwa got
to use it withinndani the first 10 minutesdakika.
30
70299
4388
Kwa muktadha huu -- kimsingi, tunatakiwa
kuitumia ndani ya dakika 10 za kwanza
01:26
The JediJedi, on the other handmkono,
have no problemsmatatizo with theirwao outfitsmavazi.
31
74711

Jedi, kwa upande mwingine,
hawana matatizo na mavazi yao
Mavazi yale hufunguka moja kwa moja juu
01:29
Those robesmavazi openkufungua straightsawa up,
32
77837
1732
unaweza kuweka pedi moja kwa moja kifuani
01:31
you can placemahali the padsusafi
right ontokuingia the chestkifua --
33
79593
2510
kwa hiyo upande wa juu-kulia wa kifua,
01:34
so upper-right-handkuume juu sideupande of the chestkifua,
34

35
84029
1159
subiria kifaa kibaini kama ni mapigo
yanayoweza kushtuliwa
01:37
wait for the unitkitengo to determinekuamua
if it's a shockableshockable rhythmrhythm
36
85212
3148
na kuwa tayari kushtua
01:40
and get readytayari to shockmshtuko.
37
88384
1518
Lakini, Jedi wana tatizo.
01:41
But, the JediJedi do have a problemtatizo.
38
89926
1525
01:43
They have a headkichwa appendagekipengee issuesuala.
39
91475
1642
Wana minyiri vichwani.
01:45
And so I can be totallykabisa clearwazi,
thinkingkufikiri I'm readytayari to go,
40
93141
3195
Kwa hiyo naweza kuwa nafikiri niko tayari
lakini bahati mbaya nikagusa mnyiri
01:48
but I'm accidentallybahati mbaya touchingkugusa a tentaclemnyiri
41
96360

na ghafla nikajishtua mwenyewe.
01:50
and inadvertentlybila kujua shockingkushangaza myselfMimi mwenyewe.

1911
[Kicheko]
01:52
(LaughterKicheko)
43
100569
1420
Kwa hiyo kabla hujabonyeza kile kitufe,
hakikisha uko salama
01:54
So before you hithit that buttonkifungo,
make sure you are clearwazi
44
102013
4538
na kila mtu yuko salama
01:58
and everyonekila mtu elsemwingine is clearwazi.
45
106575
1871
Tukirudi kwa stormtrooper
02:00
Going back to that stormtrooperstormtrooper:
46
108470
2477
kama ningeweza kutoa lile vazi la kifuani
ndani ya muda
02:02
If I did get that chestkifua platesahani off in time,
47
110971
2398
02:05
what would you do if you suddenlyghafla foundkupatikana
there was a WookieeWookiee underchini there,
48
113393
3830
utafanyaje kama ghafla utakuta
kuna Wookiee mule ndani
[Kicheko] au pengine Ewok mmoja au wawili?
02:09
or possiblylabda two EwoksEwoks?

2508
02:11
(LaughterKicheko)
50
119779
1351
(Kicheko)
02:13
Well, luckybahati for us,
51
121154
1273
Naam, bahati nzuri kwetu,
ndani ya kisanduku kuna wembe,
02:14
in the kitkit there's actuallykwa kweli a razorwembe,
52
122451
2200
na tunaweza kuutumia kunyoa nywele
za kifuani za upande wa juu kulia
02:16
and we can use that to shavekunyoa the chestkifua
on the upperjuu right-handmkono wa kulia sideupande
53
124675
3555
na chini kushoto.
02:20
and the lowerchini left.
54
128254
1529
Wookiees pia wana tatizo jingine.
02:22
WookieesWookiees alsopia have anothermwingine problemtatizo.
55
130751
1746
Wana viambata vingi.
02:24
They have an accessoryKiziada cha issuesuala.
56
132521
1428
Tunachotaka kufanya ni kuviondoa --
02:25
What we want to do is removeondoa these --
57
133973
2556
02:28
anything betweenkati the two padsusafi
we want to removeondoa,
58
136553
3415
chochote kati ya pedi mbili
tunataka kukiondoa
sababu kinaweza kusababisha kitu kinaitwa
"shoti ya umeme"
02:31
sincetangu it can causekusababisha
something calledaitwaye "arcingarcing."
59
139992
2187
02:34
For those who don't know what arcingarcing is,
60
142203
1950
Kwa wale wasiojua shoti,
mnamkumbuka Mfalme,
02:36
do you rememberkumbuka the EmperorKaizari,
61
144177
1413
anaporusha umeme kutoka ncha za vidole
vyake --
02:37
when he shootsshina electricityumeme
out the endshuisha of his fingersvidole --
62
145614
2736
[Kicheko]
ule ndio mfano wa shoti ya umeme
02:40
(LaughterKicheko)
63
148374
1013
02:41
that would be kindaina of like arcingarcing.
64
149411
1631
Kitu kingine --
02:43
AnotherMwingine thing that --
65
151066
1151
Oh! Pamoja na hayo, anafanya vile
kwa kuvaa soksi ya sufu kwenye vazi lake
02:44
Oh! By the way, he createshujenga that
by wearingkuvaa woolpamba sockssoksi underchini his robesmavazi.
66
152241
3329
(Kicheko)
02:47
(LaughterKicheko)
67
155594
1008
Tunaweza pia kupata shoti ya umeme
kama tuna kifua kilicholowana sana
02:48
We can alsopia get arcingarcing if we have
an extremelysana wetmvua chestkifua.
68
156626
3117
02:51
The electricityumeme travelssafari acrosskote the surfaceuso
insteadbadala yake of throughkupitia the heartmoyo.
69
159767
3443
Umeme utatembea juu ya kifua
badala ya kupitia kwenye moyo.
Tunaweza kurekebisha hii kwa maneno
yasiyosahaulika ya Douglas Adams "Usihofu"
02:55
We can correctsahihi this with the immortalhaiwezi
wordsmaneno of DouglasDouglas AdamsAdams:
70
163234
2899
02:58
"Don't panichofu," whichambayo mostwengi of us
have donekufanyika todayleo --
71
166157
2770
ambavyo wengi wetu tumefanya leo --
na pia daima kuwa na taulo.
03:00
and alsopia always havingkuwa na a toweltaulo.
72
168951
2245
Hivyo, maneno mazuri ya kukumbuka.
03:03
So, good wordsmaneno to go by.
73
171220
2007
03:05
The metalchuma bikinibikini -- unfortunatelykwa bahati mbaya,
this is where panichofu setsseti in --
74
173251
3759
Bikini ya chuma -- bahati mbaya,
hapa ndipo hofu huanza --
kama sidiria ya kisasa,
03:09
like the modernkisasa brasidiria,
75
177034
1202
tunatakiwa kuhakikisha tumeondoa,
03:10
we have to make sure we removeondoa,
76
178260
1869
kwa sababu hii inaweza kusababisha
shoti kubwa pamoja na kuungua.
03:12
because this can causekusababisha
severekali arcingarcing alongkando with burnskuchoma.
77
180153
4871
Lakini kwa bahati mbaya
hii inafungua mjadala mwingine
03:17
But unfortunatelykwa bahati mbaya this openskufungua up an issuesuala
78
185048
2353
03:19
that's almostkaribu as controversialutata
as talkingkuzungumza about the prequelsprequels.
79
187425
2923
ambalo ni wa utata
kama kuongelea matukio ya awali
(Kicheko)
03:22
(LaughterKicheko)
80
190372
1096
Kutaja tu neno "chuchu,"
03:23
The meretu mentionkutaja of the wordneno "nippleschuchu,"
81
191492
1886
watu wanapagawa
03:25
and people get into a little
bitkidogo of a tizzytizzy.
82
193402
2144
Pamoja na hayo, ile siyo chuchu,
ile ni keki ndogo.
03:27
By the way, that is not a nipplechuchu,
that's a cupcakecupcake.
83

03:30
(LaughterKicheko)
84

2423
(Kicheko)
03:32
ChancesNafasi are, if you do have to use this,
85
200492
2873
Uwezekano ni kuwa, kama utahitaji
kukitumia,
itakuwa kwa mtu unayemfahamu.
03:35
this is going to be on someonemtu you know.
86
203389
1938
Na kumbuka kila mtu ana chuchu,
03:37
And rememberkumbuka, everyonekila mtu has nippleschuchu,
87
205351
1700
isipokuwa kwa Jabba.

Lakini anapenda keki ndogo.
03:41
But he does love cupcakescupcakes.

03:43
SpeakingAkizungumza about JabbaJabba,
91
211768
1151
Kumwongelea Jabba,
03:44
if we do have to use an AEDAED on him,
92
212943
2516
ikiwa tunatakiwa kutumia AED kwake,
kumbuka uwekaji wa pedi ni ule ule,
03:47
rememberkumbuka padpedi placementuwekaji is the samesawa,
93
215483
1842
ingawa hana chuchu.
03:49
even thoughingawa he doesn't have nippleschuchu.
94
217349
1781
Kwa hiyo itakuwa upande wa juu kulia,
chini kushoto
03:51
So it's going to be
upperjuu right-handmkono wa kulia sideupande, lowerchini left.
95
219154

Kama tunaendelea na zoezi, tunakuwa tayari
03:54
If we were going throughkupitia, we're shockingkushangaza,

Tukimaliza kushtua,
03:57
after we'vetumekuwa donekufanyika the shockmshtuko,
97
225497
1347
kitu tunachopaswa
kufanya kumbuka ni kumkandamiza
03:58
one of the things we need to do
is rememberkumbuka to do compressionMfinyazo.
98
226868
3046
Njia nzuri ni kukandamiza mara 30
kumpa pumzi mara mbili
04:01
The preferredalipendelea methodnjia
is 30 compressionsmibano and two breathsmipumuo

si zaidi ya 120.
04:14
no more than 120.
104
242999
1675
Bahati mbaya, kutokana na ukubwa wa
mdomo wa Jabba
04:17
UnfortunatelyKwa bahati mbaya, duekutokana to the sizeukubwa
of Jabba'sWa Jabba mouthkinywa
105
245950
2832
04:20
and alsopia what he putsunaweka in said mouthkinywa,
106
248806
1765
na pia anachoweka mdomoni,
tunaweza tusitake kufanya
sehemu ya mdomo-kwa-mdomo.
04:22
we mayinaweza not want to actuallykwa kweli
do the mouth-to-mouthMouth-to-Mouth partsehemu.
107
250595
4433
Badala yake tunaweza kufanya CPR
ya mkandamizo pekee.
04:27
So insteadbadala yake, we can do
compression-onlyMfinyazo tu CPRCPR.
108

2481
04:29
The way of rememberingkukumbuka
the compression-onlyMfinyazo tu partsehemu
109
257557
2440
Njia ya kukumbuka sehemu ya
mgandamizo pekee
04:32
is we can actuallykwa kweli use the ImperialKifalme MarchMachi.
110
260021
2819
tunaweza kutumia tuni ya
Gwaride la Kifalme
04:34
I would singkuimba it for you --

UnfortunatelyKwa bahati mbaya, that would be more
something an interrogationmahojiano droiddroid would do.

Kwa bahati mbaya, hiyo ingeweza kufanywa
sana sana na roboti wa mahojiano.

SmallNdogo little guy, like a babymtoto.
115
272397
1655
Tunachofanya, kimsingi
ni kumchukulia kama mtoto
04:46
What we do is basicallykimsingi
treatkutibu him like a babymtoto,
116
274076
2435
Kwa maana ya kuwa tunaweka
pedi moja katikati ya kifua
04:48
in the sensehisia that we're going to placemahali
one padpedi in the centerkituo of the chestkifua
117
276535
3524
na moja nyuma.
04:52
and one in the back.
118
280083
1151
Kama tutaweka zote mbele,
04:53
If we placemahali them bothwote wawili in the frontmbele,
119
281258
1668
zinaweza kuwa karibu sana
zikasababisha shoti kubwa
04:54
they can be too closekaribu
and causekusababisha severekali arcingarcing,
120
282950
2570
kwa hiyo tunataka kuepuka hiyo.
04:57
so we want to avoidkuepuka that.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Todd Scott - First aid instructor
Todd Scott uses humor and pop culture to make CPR training more memorable.

Why you should listen

Todd Scott has been a CPR / first aid instructor for more than 23 years. In that time he has learned one thing: CPR classes are really boring. Not the subject matter; that's critically important. Especially to Scott, since his Dad died of a heart attack when he was a very young kid. And teaching other people how to use an automated external defibrillator AED is top of his list so they have the skills to one day save his life ... hopefully.

Other than being totally selfish and doing this to save his own, he is trying to make this subject engaging. Year after year the students get bored of being in CPR training, and they stop learning since they know the skills. Best practices in CPR do change over time, even of spans as short as five years, but people come into the classes knowing they know it all. Using humor and pop culture references that people can understand has helped to engage people. A universal love of toast and Star Wars can be used to help teach so many things.

Scott also has an extensive background as a naturalist, outdoor educator, underwater window washer (yes this is a thing), jewelry designer,  wilderness EMT, massage practitioner, professional duct tape artist (creating an NBA court-sized duct tape American flag), national spokesman, writer and photographer.
