What is CPR?
CPR is a combination of rescue breaths and chest compressions..
What can I do as an instructor to make my classe more fun?
I have been teaching CPR classes for about 2 years now. I am looking for new and refreshing ways to add humor and stories into my class to encourage more feedback from the students. Any ideas?
Emergencies can occur anytime, anywhere. Do you know how to respond? Do you have a fire extinguisher? Yearly, approximately 96 people die in the US from sudden cardiac arrest for every ONE death due to fire. Do you have an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)? Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) kills over 250,000 people each year. 50% of SCA victims have no prior symptoms of heart disease. We offer Training in the following areas with American Red Cross certification for you and your staff: CPR - Adult, Child and Infant CPR for the Professional Rescuer AED - Adult and Child First Aid Wilderness First Aid Equipment selection assistance appropriate for your company: First Aid Kit AED (Automated External Defibrillator)
According to the American Heart Association:
-Less than one-third of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest victims receive bystander CPR
-Effective bystander CPR, provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest, can double or triple a victim’s chance of survival
-Unless CPR and defibrillation are provided within minutes of collapse, few attempts at resuscitation are successful
