Buffalo's Damar Hamlin comes to UC encouraging CPR training, AED use to save lives

Just over 200 days since he lay motionless on Paycor Stadium's turf after making a tackle, 25-year-old Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has returned to Cincinnati to pay it forward.

The CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and AED (automated external defibrillator) that revived him Jan. 2 is now part of his daily vocabulary. The efforts of Buffalo and Cincinnati's medical and emergency squads allowed him to get on an ambulance to the University of Cincinnati's Level One Trauma Center that night. By Jan, 9, UC Medical Center doctors were able to release him to a Buffalo hospital.
