CPR classes are conducted
by trained, professional staff. After successfully completing
the class,
you will be certified by the American Heart Association
for two years.
CPR involves a combination of mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing
(or other artificial ventilation
techniques) and chest compressions. CPR helps to maintain
some oxygenated blood flowing to the
brian and other vital organs until appropriate medical treatment
can restore normal heart action.
Approximately two-thirds of sudden deaths due to coronary
heart disease occur outside of the
hospital. Many of these deaths can be prevented by calling
911 and then initiating CPR.
