Layperson CPR - Adult & Pediatrics
One of the most startling ideas of modern medicine is that "sudden death" can be reversed. Perhaps more astonishing is the realization that this miracle of science may be brought about by any of us, anywhere using only our hands, our lungs, and our brains. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) that is performed properly and promptly - i.e., before "sudden death" has resulted in final, biological death -- can give victims the time to receive treatment by advanced medical techniques. Layperson Adult will teach you the techniques of CPR for Adult - One Rescuer and Foreign Body Airway Obstruction (Choking). Layperson Pediatric includes Child and Infant Skills. It has a time frame of  2 - 4 hours.
