Health & Medicine on Khan Academy: No organ quite symbolizes love like the heart. One reason may be that your heart helps you live, by moving ~5 liters (1.3 gallons) of blood through almost 100,000 kilometers (62,000 miles) of blood vessels every single minute! It has to do this all day, everyday, without ever taking a vacation! Now that is true love. Learn about how the heart works, how blood flows through the heart, where the blood goes after it leaves the heart, and what your heart is doing when it makes the sound “Lub Dub.”

I volunteer with St. John and this is a very exciting prospect from Khan Academy. Keeping a review on the ABC's etc. is vital to any responder.

Good vid! I had never known that there was an easy technique to compress the esophagus (but it makes sense when he describes it).

Good video. Questions for any Health Care/Rescue professionals: I came across the following statement:
"ILCOR no longer advocates use of the jaw thrust by lay rescuers, even for spinal-injured victims, although health care professionals still maintain the technique for specific applications. Instead, lay rescuers are advised to use the same head-tilt for all victims."
Questions: 1) Who or what is ILCOR, and 2) Why do they recommend lay rescuers only use the head-tilt method? Thanks.
