Small children usually need CPR due to cardiac arrest brought on by breathing problems. Here are some of the reasons that make infant-specific CPR so vital —

• Over 7,000 infants and children suffer from cardiac arrest every year.
• The most common cause of cardiac arrest in infants is a blockage in the airway or respiratory distress.
• Twenty-one thousand infants died in 2018, with the fourth and fifth leading causes as SIDS or suffocation.

CPR can be used for many other medical emergencies, including poisoning, smoke inhalation, electrical shock, near-drowning, and head trauma. By joining one of our classes, you will learn to use BLS, CPR, and AED skills to help save lives in life-threatening medical emergencies.

What is CPR?

CPR, or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, is a method that utilizes rescue breaths and chest compressions to restore someone suffering from cardiac arrest. It circulates blood to vital organs during cardiac arrest. Properly administered, CPR can restore regular breathing and heartbeat to individuals and distress, providing life support until further medical assistance arrives.
