However, you have a clear advantage if you have received some training in advance. Getting familiar with how a defibrillator works is also a definite advantage,\u201d says Kim \u00c5ke Sviland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to being a chief of staff at OFFB, he has several years of experience as a nurse, as well as a long history with voluntary search and rescue services. Kim reminds us of the importance of those standing near to immediately initiate life-saving first aid. That way, we can together strengthen the chance of surviving acute illness and injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A significant investment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Precisely because emergency preparedness is our main focus at OFFB, we must practice what we preach. All full-time employees have now completed a three-hour course in cardiopulmonary resuscitation with the use of a defibrillator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/offb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image0-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2292\" width=\"611\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image0-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/offb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image0-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/offb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image0-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/offb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image0-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/offb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image0-16x12.jpeg 16w, https:\/\/offb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image0-1200x900.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/offb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image0-1980x1485.jpeg 1980w, https:\/\/offb.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image0.jpeg 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><figcaption>The DHLR-course consists of theory and practical training.
