CPR Training 

Can you save a life? In an emergency, when every second is critical, would you know what to do?

According to recent statistics sudden cardiac arrest is rapidly becoming the leading cause of death in America. Once the heart ceases to function, a healthy human brain may survive without oxygen for up to 4 minutes without suffering any permanent damage. Unfortunately, a typical EMS response may take 6 to 10 minutes.

It is during those critical minutes that CPR can provide oxygenated blood to the victim's brain and the heart, dramatically increasing his chance of survival.

CPR Training for adult, child and infants consist of;

• Rescue breathing techniques
• Airway obstruction
• Choking prevention
• Basic description of physiology & anatomy of th heart & lungs.
• Recognition of emergencies such as heart attacks, strokes, seizures, blood borne pathogen & personal protection
• Good samaritan laws
