Learn how to save your child, spouse or other loved-ones in an emergency. CPR - Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation teaches you how to give artificial respiration, keep blood circulating when the heart has stopped, how to save a choking victim, what to do when somebody drowns and other life-saving skills. In an emergency, seconds count.
When somebody stops breathing you don't have time to wait for 911's response. You have to act now.
CPR is fun and easy to learn!
There is a very good chance that you know someone with heart disease. It is also quite likely that you will personally witness a heart attack in your lifetime, or that somebody you know will have suffocated or drowned. Without Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), a person with a heart attack or who has stopped breathing may have as little as a 1 in 100 chance of survival. If you perform CPR until a properly equipped EMS arrives, that person's chance of survival may increase to as much as 1 in 4. With CPR your friends and family live. Without CPR -- the outcome is usually fatal.
Do you know what to do for a heart attack or choking victim? Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation is a simple skill that is easily learned in a one session class conducted by
Emergency Institute.
In CPR, mouth-to-mouth breathing and rhythmic chest compressions are used to supply oxygen to the brain and other vital organs of a person whose heart has stopped pumping. This can buy the patient time until Advanced Life Support measures can be administered by highly skilled paramedics.
Worldwide, in thousands of cases every year, CPR from bystanders is credited as making the difference between life and death. The sooner CPR is started, the greater the chances for survival. Unfortunately, many people who have been trained in CPR are reluctant to administer it for fear of doing it wrong. It is important to remember that when indicated: Good CPR is better than bad CPR, but even bad CPR is a million times better than no CPR at all!
CPR can not only be used when heart attacks strike, but may save victims of drowning, electrocution, suffocation and drug overdose. CPR not only saves lives, but provides peace of mind during and after an emergency. People often feel helpless when they witness a heart attack, but with CPR training, you will know exactly what to do.
CPR courses address the issues of infectious disease, and show you how to minimize or eliminate this risk.
You can't learn CPR from a book, or even a video. CPR must be taught from a certified instructor.
We believe that every parent, nanny, babysitter and teacher should learn CPR from a certified instructor.
Many people organize their own CPR classes through their children's schools, PTA group, Neighborhood Association, or office. These classes can be offered at your school or business.
Until then, review our free instruction for Adult CPR below.
1. CALL
Check the victim for unresponsiveness. If there is no response, CALL 911 and return to the victim. In most locations the emergency dispatcher can assist you with CPR instructions.
2. BLOW
Tilt the head back and listen for breathing.
If not breathing normally, pinch nose and cover the mouth with yours and blow until you see the chest rise. Give 2 breaths. Each breath
should take 2 seconds.
3. PUMP
If the victim is still not breathing normally, coughing or moving, begin chest compressions. Push down on the chest 11/2 to 2 inches 15 times right between the nipples. Pump at the rate of 100/minute, faster than once per
second.
CONTINUE WITH 2 BREATHS AND 15 PUMPS UNTIL HELP ARRIVES
NOTE: This ratio is the same for one-person & two-person CPR. In two-person CPR the person pumping the chest stops while the other gives mouth-to-mouth breathing.
