Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training that includes real-time audiovisual feedback and that emphasizes a "pit crew" or team approach to prehospital care for cardiac arrest patients has been shown to increased survival by almost 60 percent.

The results of a clinical trial of scenario-based training were published online yesterday in Annals of Emergency Medicine ("The Influence of Scenario-Based Training and Real-Time Audiovisual Feedback on Pre-hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Quality and Survival from Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest").

MVEMSA has developed a short video to introduce the concept of Pit Crew CPR.

3. Please have the Live Scan process completed within thirty (30) days prior to the date you plan on applying for certification or recertification. Contact a Live Scan Agency from the attached list and make an appointment, if necessary. Locations of Live Scan agencies in other counties can be found on the internet at http://www.ag.ca.gov/fingerprints/publications/contact.pdf

4. The total fee for the background check varies depending on where you have it done (please see attached list for fees) Each Live Scan agency charges a “rolling fee” which varies by agency. In addition to the Live Scan Agency’s rolling fee, there is a $32 Department of Justice (DOJ) and a $19 FBI non-refundable fee. You pay the total of the rolling fee, DOJ and FBI fee to the Live Scan Agency when you submit your fingerprints. Be sure to confirm what they accept as methods of payment (personal check, money order, cash, or credit card). Each Live Scan Agency may accept something different.  When you choose where to go for your fingerprinting, it would be a good idea to call them, even if they don’t require appointments, to make sure you have all of the latest information for the particular Live Scan site.

5. You will need to take a photo I.D. with you to the Live Scan Agency.

The cost of the Live Scan process is $32.00 for the DOJ AND $19.00 for the FBI + the agency rolling fee.
