Japan National Rugby Team Calls for Action: Instructional Video on CPR and AED Use Released
The Japan Rugby Football Union has released an educational video to teach the proper methods for CPR and how to use an AED (Automated External Defibrillator). Players from the Japan men's national rugby team are featured in the video.
The purpose of the video is to convey the importance of bystanders not hesitating to begin life-saving measures should someone suddenly suffer cardiac arrest in a sports setting or in daily life. The players emphasize the importance of acting with courage in situations where every second counts.
Cardiac arrest can happen anytime, anywhere. While AEDs are now widely installed in stations, schools, and public facilities, many people still feel anxious about actually using one. In this video, the specific steps and methods for performing chest compressions are explained in a way that is easy for anyone to understand.
Through this video, the Japan Rugby Football Union aims to spread life-saving knowledge to as many people as possible and create a society where more lives can be saved. Why not take a moment to check the location and usage of the AEDs in your own neighborhood, so you can be prepared in case of an emergency?
