Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a life-saving procedure used in emergencies when someone’s heartbeat or breathing has stopped. It combines chest compressions and rescue breaths to maintain vital blood flow to the brain and other organs until professional medical help arrives. CPR can significantly increase the chances of survival in cases like cardiac arrest, drowning, or severe injuries.

Becoming CPR certified is a straightforward and accessible process. There are three organizations that offer CPR certifications: American Hearth Association (AHA), Red Cross, and National Safety Council (NSC). To become certified, one must take a course and pass an assessment.
