A Parent’s Story — Why Every Family Should Know First Aid

When Sarah Stuebe's son Oscar collapsed during a baseball game, she did what no parent ever imagines having to do, she performed CPR on her own child.

In this episode, Sarah shares her powerful story of the day everything changed, and what she's done since to make sure other families are prepared. Joining the conversation is Karen McCandless, CRNP, a cardiac nurse practitioner at Nemours Children's Health, who breaks down commotio cordis, how to recognize cardiac arrest in a child, and why every parent and coach should know CPR.

Together, they offer a message that is equal parts urgent and reassuring: awareness saves lives, and it starts with you.
