Refresher for CPR
Hours: 1.00
Every year, hundreds of thousands of individuals experience cardiac arrest, with more than 80% of cases occurring outside of the hospital. Immediate initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can triple a person’s chances of survival. Although technology has increased and the public now has access to automated external defibrillators in most public places, no initial intervention can be delivered unless bystanders and formally trained personnel are ready to respond.
Regardless of whether you have been formally trained to perform CPR, after completing this course you will have a firm grasp on the essential components of CPR, including the initial first aid steps you can take prior to performing CPR.
The goal of this course is to provide all staff with an overview of CPR.
NOTE: This course does not replace the formalized training and return demonstration that must be completed for competency according to the American Heart Association. This course should only be used as a “refresher” to remind the learner of the key action steps in CPR.
