CPR: A Must Learn Practice for Emergency Situations

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation or CPR is basically a mouth-to-mouth respiration and chest compression technique. It is a first-aid method which is performed to provide immediate aid to a person by circulating the oxygenated blood to his organs like the heart and brain in case of an emergency situation. Though, CPR is strongly recommended as a life-saving measure, you need a proper training to perform this method.

There are various risks associated with CPR training such as damage to the liver or heart, rib facture, puncture of lungs or large blood vessels and more. To avoid such risks, you need a proper training that too under the direction of a qualified instructor. Not only health care professionals, but the general public should also learn CPR for use in any emergency situations.

Nowadays, there are a number of training centers and online courses that provide training and skills sessions for learning CPR method along with using different types of ancillary devices for CPR. On a successful completion of these training sessions, you’ll get CPR Certification, which is a proof that you have acquired proper training in CPR and know how to do it properly."

Your CPR training may save the life of a dear one at home!

Do you know that sudden cardiac arrest is the primary cause of deaths in US, claiming approximately 325,000 lives every year? And the worrisome thing is that this figure is going up every year. As a matter of fact, deaths caused due to sudden cardiac arrest outnumber the combined deaths caused by diseases like breast cancer, lung cancer and HIV in the US today. This statistic if broken down to days is pretty scary with nearly one person succumbing to it every 2 minutes.

The Infographic given below on this page on why-CPR-is-important-to-learn stresses on the benefits of getting a CPR training. With your CPR training, you can at least save the lives of your elders at home, because it is estimated that 95 % of victims of cardiac arrest die before they reach a hospital because of lack of emergency help at their homes. The same is true in the case of infants, where sudden cardiac arrest claims the lives of over 2,000 children and adolescents in the US ever year. With your CPR training, you will definitely have a better chance to address such scenarios in the best possible way, which will allow you to give your near and dear ones a second shot at life after such a life threatening medical emergency.�
