You’ll Be Equipped to Help Those You Love

Did you know that more than 80 percent of cardiac arrests occur while the patient is at home? This means that you are more likely to use your CPR skills to help someone close to you than assisting a stranger. We cannot control everything that happens to our loved ones, but we can do everything possible to be ready to help in case an emergency occurs.

Many people think of CPR as a skill to have when dealing with elderly or very sick family members. Although this is important, there is no age limit when it comes to who CPR can help. In fact, it’s a great idea for new parents and caregivers of little ones to understand the principles of infant and child CPR.
