Training Objectives

Identify signs of a heart attack and cardiac arrest

Execute safe response steps for victims of high-voltage electrocution

Course Overview

Time is the most critical factor when the heart stops or a severe electrical shock occurs.

This course prepares you to act immediately when seconds matter most. You will learn to recognize the "silent" and obvious signs of a heart attack and the critical differences between cardiac distress and full arrest. We cover the essential steps of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and the life-saving role of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Additionally, the training provides vital safety protocols for electrocution, emphasizing how to ensure the scene is safe before touching a victim to avoid becoming a second casualty. Gain the skills to bridge the gap between the onset of a cardiac event and the arrival of advanced medical teams.

Yes. If you are not trained in "mouth-to-mouth," 911 dispatchers can coach you through "Hands-Only CPR," which involves pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest until help arrives.

You should move the victim to a dry area if possible and wipe their chest dry before applying AED pads. Water conducts electricity and can interfere with the device's ability to shock correctly.

A heart attack is a "plumbing" problem where blood flow to the heart is blocked; the person is usually conscious. Cardiac arrest is an "electrical" problem where the heart stops beating; the person is unconscious.
