Wolf - thank you for the advice. I especially appreciate the proactive approach of CISM, and am fortunately pretty resilient when it comes to stressful situations. (perhaps why I love EMS so much) I had a great teacher with many years of experience and wisdom to share, so our class at least went out with realistic expectations and a definite appreciation of a sense of humor.
Yes I am aware of the high mortality rate of full arrests. Especially children as the arrest is usually caused by another serious problem that is often undiagnosed. The biggest issue I have with the whole thing is my lack of emotional response. I thought for sure it would be at least a little traumatic, but no, everyone felt good. Just the knowledge that we all worked our asses off for the guy seemed to buoy everyones spirits.
