Ignorance versus Preparation with Adult & Pediatric CPR/AED Training!

 

When an emergency occurs who will be there to provide CPR/AED life saving assistance?

Far too often the very people in our group of family members or friends are not trained to assist us or anyone else when people unexpectedly find themselves unable to breathe or needing heart defibrillation.  All that can be done by far too many individuals is to call 911 for emergency assistance and to wait.  

 

Those crucial moments without oxygen during breathing and cardiac emergencies can be fatal.  What an unfortunate circumstance to be surrounded by those who can only be witnesses to the individual's final breathe or last heartbeat and wait idly by for the ambulance or police to arrive.

 

Let’s train all of our young folk and ourselves to save each other in an emergency.  Each moment is crucial and let’s not waste it by being unprepared to, especially, assist those that we love and everyone else.  It is important to learn what to do during first aid (head, neck, back injuries, cuts, scrapes and burns) emergencies.

 

CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and training in it can be life saving. 

AED stands for Automated External Defibrillator and training in it teaches the certified individual how to treat a patient through defibrillation.  There are more and more facilities that have the AED devices but limited trained staff.

 

Sign-up now for the Adult and Pediatric CPR/AED training at your local American Red Cross location and get certified.  The Adult and Pediatric CPR/AED Certification is good for 2 years. There is no age restriction other than the young person must have the physical strength to perform chest compressions and the academic ability to read the instructional material and be tested for remembrance of the required facts and the ability to demonstrate what was learned during the training.

 

Let’s All Get CPR/AED Certified!
