Effective CPR NC

Here is an interesting fact for this warm and sunny Tuesday!

This is the “Death Mask” of a young woman who drowned in the River Seine in the 1880s. As was customary in those days, her co**se was put on display in the Paris mortuary, in the hope that someone might recognize her and claim her body.

The pathologist on duty became entranced by the girl with the enigmatic half-smile, and so he commissioned a plaster cast made of her face. This mask was replicated many times over. She became known as "L'Inconnue de la Seine,” or “The Unknown Woman of the Seine.”

In 1958, a toymaker named Asmund Laerdal created what we now know as the CPR doll along with Peter Safar. Asmund wanted his mannequin to have a natural appearance. Remembering a mask on the wall of his grandparents' house many years earlier, he decided that the L'Inconnue de la Seine would become the face of Resusci Anne - the CPR doll. At Effective CPR NC, we only use Laerdal mannequins!

This anonymous woman who drowned in the 19th century is responsible for saving many, many lives the world over. It is said that she has the most kissed face of all time.

Hello everyone! My name is Nate and I am the owner and instructor at Effective CPR NC. I am a full time firefighter in Wake County with 8 years of experience and served in the Army and Air National Guard for 12 years. I started this business earlier this year because I am passionate about teaching basic lifesaving skills to the public and have experienced firsthand how CPR and basic first aid skills can save lives.

When I'm not teaching classes, you can find me at a Hurricanes hockey game, golfing and enjoying my days off with my wife and daughter.

I can't thank you enough for being here and supporting my growing business. I hope to see you in a class soon!
