CPR is a simple but effective procedure that allows almost anyone to
sustain life in the first critical minutes of cardiac arrest. It provides
oxygenated blood to the brain and heart, long enough to keep vital organs
alive until professional rescuers arrive. AED (Automated External
Defibrillator) is an electronic device that can deliver a shock of
electricity to get to return to a normal heartbeat. AEDs are very accurate
and easy to use. With a few hours of training, anyone can learn to operate
an AED safely.
CPR training is a great skill to have at the professional level or for
personal development. Online CPR certification courses prepare one for an
emergency situation and give the confidence to save lives. These courses
include video, clearly illustrated graphics and easy to follow text. Online
courses are great in that they are available from any computer with internet
access and can be accessed 24/7. The program takes advantage of today's
technology to interactively demonstrate and provide comprehensive
instructions in cognitive and theoretical CPR and AED skills.
The purpose of CPR Certification Classes is to give individuals the
skills necessary to prevent, recognize and provide basic care for breathing
and cardiac emergencies in adults, children, and infants until advanced
medical personnel arrive. These classes follow the recommendations of the
American Red Cross and American Heart Association. Adult CPR Certification
courses teach individuals how to perform CPR and use AED for adult victims;
adults are classified as individuals of age 12 and older. Similarly Child
CPR Certification courses are for child victims of age 1-12 years, and
Infant CPR Certification for children up to 1 year of age.
It is not only the invaluable ‘feel good’ factor of saving a life, but
also the immense gratitude expressed by the person whose life is saved,
makes every effort worthwhile. A large number of cardiac arrests occur in
private residential settings, so being trained to perform CPR can mean the
difference between life and death for a loved one!! In the event of an
emergency are you prepared to save a life?
