First Aid: CPR Training Course

If someone collapses in your presence, whether at the workplace or at home, will you be ready to intervene? Did you know there is more than one way for an everyday person to treat someone in cardiac arrest and that one method requires no training? An alarmingly low number of people survive cardiac arrest when it occurs outside of a hospital. What if that person is someone close to you? Proper interventions, such as CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), increase the chance of survival two to threefold.

OSHA requires that workplaces have someone trained to administer CPR, but what are the chances the designated person will be present when someone collapses? What if this happens outside of work? When every second counts, it’s critical that someone already in the room take action. Knowing what to do and how to perform CPR without hesitation could make the difference between life and death. And, if you know how to use an AED (Automated External Defibrillator), you can be even more effective.

This course will prepare you to effectively respond to instances of cardiac arrest according to the standards set forth by the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross, and the overall medical profession. You’ll learn the steps you can take without training by administering Hands-Only CPR, as well as more advanced options available with training, including conventional CPR (with breathing), AED operation, and CPR for children and infants. Whether or not you decide to take a training course, you will be armed with an overall understanding of how to use CPR and AED to save lives. If you want to take action when you’re most needed, this course is for you!
