If you were next to someone who had a heart attack or almost drowned, would you know what to do and take action in the right way? When blood flow or breathing stops, seconds are precious. Permanent brain damage or death can happen quickly. If you know how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), you could save a persons life. CPR is an emergency procedure for a person whose heart has stopped or is no longer breathing. CPR can maintain circulation and breathing until emergency medical help arrives. learn about becoming a instructor http://ttcsafety.com/CPR_Instructor_Course.html Even if you haven't had training, you can do "hands-only" CPR for a person whose heart has stopped beating. but remember that anything you do at this point is better then not doing anything at all. "Hands-only" CPR uses chest compressions to keep blood circulating until emergency help arrives. In a average city, this could take about 5-8 minutes for EMS to respond to a scene. If you've had training, you can use chest compressions and rescue breathing. Rescue breathing helps get oxygen to the lungs for a person who has stopped breathing. To keep your skills up, you should repeat the training every two years.
