CPR Training

What is CPR?

• The Core Function: CPR involves chest compressions and, in some cases, rescue breaths. The goal is to keep oxygenated blood circulating to the brain and other vital organs when the heart is beating too ineffectively to do so on its own.

• The Chain of Survival: CPR is considered a critical link in the "Chain of Survival," which includes recognizing cardiac arrest, calling 9-1-1, performing early CPR, rapid defibrillation, and advanced care by medical professionals.

• Two Main Versions:

    ◦ Conventional CPR: Combines chest compressions with mouth-to-mouth rescue breaths. This is often recommended for healthcare providers, children, infants, or victims of drowning/respiratory emergencies.

    ◦ Hands-Only CPR: Involves only chest compressions (pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest). It is recommended for the general public who witness a teen or adult collapse suddenly.

How Training Can Help

According to the sources, cardiac arrest claims more lives annually than influenza, pneumonia, auto accidents, HIV, firearms, and house fires combined. Training bridges the gap between collapse and professional medical help in several ways:

• Drastically Improved Survival Rates: Immediate CPR can double or triple a person's chance of survival. Without intervention, the chance of survival drops for every minute that passes.

• Preventing Brain Damage: Even if a victim survives, a lack of oxygen can lead to permanent brain damage. CPR helps prevent brain death by keeping blood flowing to the brain while waiting for emergency responders.

• Overcoming Hesitation: Only about 40% of people who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest receive the immediate help they need. Training provides the confidence to act quickly rather than standing by.

• Workplace Safety: Approximately 10,000 cardiac arrests occur in the workplace annually in the U.S.. However, half of all U.S. workers cannot locate an AED at work. Training ensures employees know how to use available equipment and respond to colleagues in distress.

• Accessibility: Training is designed to be accessible to everyone—even children have been proven capable of performing effective CPR. Courses can take just a few hours and are available in In-Person.
