Would you know what to do in a medical emergency?
Did you know that four out of five heart attacks or cardiac arrests occur at home? Not only that, but many victims of heart attacks or sudden cardiac arrests appear healthy and may not have any known heart diseases or risk factors.
Anyone can learn how to perform CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation), and everyone should, as performing CPR promptly may save the life of someone you love because it helps keep blood and oxygen flowing in the body and brain and dramatically increases the chances of survival.
Quickly shocking the heart with an automated external defibrillator (AED) can save a person’s life after cardiac arrest. An AED is a device that a bystander can use. It checks the heart rhythm and can send an electric shock to the heart to try to restore a normal rhythm.
CPR and AED classes will equip you with the tools and the confidence you need to transform yourself from the role of bystander to lifesaver. CPR and AED certification will give you the necessary training to make the right decisions in the event of a cardiac emergency.
