By Adam N King
If you want to attain CPR certification, You have to take a CPR first aid course immediately! Did you know that less than 10% of people who suffer a cardiac arrest while not in hospital survive? That is in the USA not any third world country. That is shocking! Why? As if somebody in the vicinity of those victims had started CPR or

knew methods to use an AED appropriately the rate of survival would be much greater.

Less than a third of all cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from a civilian. While our emergency services are impressive it takes time for them to reach the scene and time is one thing those people may not have. Yet when CPR is applied properly these peoples probability of survival can double. Knowing these points can you see why you require to get certified?

You can take a first aid course almost anywhere so long as it is certified by the Red Cross or the American Heart Association. They're not costly and do not take up a lot of time. You do not require any previous medical knowledge and if kids can learn methods to do this lifesaving strategy therefore can any adult learn the fundamental CPR steps.

The current AEDs are user friendly with useful visual and audio indication as to what to do next. But you can't use a defibrillator unless you are well trained as you could cause extra problems. You will learn ways to use those devices which can be found in most public areas when you take your CPR class.

Cardiac arrest does not only happen to old people. Children and teens suffer too. What would you do if it was your child who was struck down? Apologize to them as they are dying, listening to you clarify how you meant to take a CPR course but had not yet got round to it?
