Are you prepared to administer CPR?
A little late but better then never! Last week was National CPR and Automatic External Defibrillator Awareness Week.
With that being said, are you prepared to administer CPR at home if need be?
According to the American Heart Association 80% of all out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen at home so being trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation can mean the difference between life and death for a loved one.
This is very important as it is pool and water season among the Northern hemisphere. It is important to stay current with CPR as well- as it changes every so often based on research and clinical trials and practices. The number of chest compressions has increased as of late. Are you prepared?

No, I don’t know how to do anything like that, but I want to learn. I especially want to learn any first aid techniques for children and babies.
