CPR & AED PROGRAMS
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. Adult CPR for the Layperson will teach you the techniques of CPR for Adult - One Rescuer and Foreign Body Airway Obstruction (Choking). Pediatric CPR for the Layperson includes Child and Infant Skills. Both courses include use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and have a time frame of 2 - 4 hours.
