H5 CPR Training
March 26, 2019 - 1:00-3:00 pm
Description: Cardiac arrest is an electrical malfunction of the heart that may be triggered by a blockage to one of the coronary arteries or from an electrical condition. An irregular heartbeat will disrupt blood flow to your brain, lungs and other organs, leading to death. When CPR is performed in the first minutes after a heart has stopped it can double or triple the person’s chance of survival. Everyone is capable of learning how to do CPR, but according to the American Heart Association 70 percent of people in the US feel helpless in an emergency. CPR may be necessary during a heart attack, electrocution, near drowning, stroke or other medical condition or injury. Learning when CPR is necessary and some simple ways of performing it correctly, may save the life of someone you love, as over 85 % of heart attacks happen at home.
Purpose: Learn how to perform life-saving CPR
