Basic Adult, Child and Infant CPR Class combination

COURSE OBJECTIVES: (2 year certification)

The Heartsaver CPR Course is designed to teach CPR and relief of (choking) foreign-body airway obstruction (FBAO) to all lay rescuers.  Although the course may be used to teach CPR to all lay rescuers, it is specifically designed for lay rescuers who are required to obtain a course completion card - a credential - documenting completion of a CPR course.  All rescuers are trained in CPR and relief of FBAO.

This course includes diverse learning opportunities, including a videotaped presentation of the Chain of Survival and warning signs of cardiovascular emergencies; instructor-led discussion to reinforce the signs of heart attack, cardiac arrest, stroke, and choking; videotaped skills demonstration and practice; instructor-led practice scenarios; and peer practice sessions.

The course teaches mouth-to-mouth ventilation and rescue breathing using barrier devices.    A course completion card (or credential) is provided to participants at the end of this course if they successfully complete the written examination  and the skills demonstration.

This course also presents information on the American Heart Association pediatric infant and child Chain of Survival, signs of choking in infants and children, how to reduce risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), and prevention of the most common fatal injuries in infants and children.

Classes meet OSHA Requirements for CPR and First Aid.
Each participant will train on their own sterile manikin.
