Family & Friends CPR: Couple

Service Description

The American Heart Association (AHA) Family and Friends CPR Course is specifically designed for people who are not healthcare professionals but want to learn basic life-saving skills. The course typically covers the following key elements: Adult Hands-Only CPR: Participants learn how to perform chest compressions for adults in the absence of rescue breaths. Child CPR: The course includes instruction on CPR techniques for children, including chest compressions and rescue breaths. Infant CPR: Participants learn the appropriate CPR techniques for infants, including chest compressions and rescue breaths. Choking Relief for Adults, Children, and Infants: Instruction on how to recognize and respond to a choking emergency in individuals of different age groups. Use of NARCAN and Epipen Use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED): Participants may receive basic training on how to use an AED, a device that delivers an electric shock to the heart in certain cardiac emergencies. Interactive Learning: The course often includes interactive elements to reinforce skills and provide a hands-on learning experience. It's important to note that the AHA regularly updates its guidelines, so the content of the Family and Friends CPR Course may evolve over time. Additionally, the course is typically shorter in duration compared to healthcare provider courses and focuses on providing basic, easy-to-remember skills for the general public.
