First AID and CPR Training
CPR classes, or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation classes, teach individuals the skills to perform life-saving techniques, including chest compressions, rescue breaths, and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) usage, to help someone who has stopped breathing or has cardiac arrest until professional help arrives.
​
Benefits of CPR certification:
Here's a more detailed explanation:
​
Confidence in emergency situations: Knowing CPR can empower you to act quickly and effectively in a crisis.
Increased survival rates: CPR can significantly increase the chances of survival for someone experiencing cardiac arrest.
Meeting workplace requirements: Some jobs require CPR certification, such as healthcare positions and lifeguarding.
CPR and AED:
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation): A technique that involves chest compressions and rescue breaths to circulate blood and oxygen to the brain and other vital organs when a person's heart has stopped beating or breathing has stopped.
AED (Automated External Defibrillator): A portable device that analyzes a person's heart rhythm and delivers an electrical shock to restore a normal heart rhythm.
