Service Description
CPR training, also known as Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation training, equips individuals with the skills to provide immediate life-saving assistance to someone experiencing cardiac arrest, where their heart has stopped beating effectively, until professional medical help arrives. What is a CPR certification? A CPR certification is a credential that qualifies the holder to perform a life-saving procedure on someone who cannot breathe on their own due to a near-drowning incident, suffocation or a cardiac event. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation involves the use of rescue ventilation and chest compressions. Certified individuals often use the procedure in hospitals and other medical settings, but they can also use it in public if necessary. Becoming CPR certified helps an individual prevent brain death in a patient whose heart stops beating. The combination of rescue ventilation and chest compressions promotes the flow of oxygen and blood throughout the body. It improves a patient's chance of achieving a full recovery with no lasting effects. Resume skills Becoming CPR certified adds to your professional skill set. For jobs that require an OSHA-mandated course, this certification gives you the qualifications to apply for certain positions in the workplace. Jobs and industries that typically require candidates to possess CPR certification include: Health care Child care Firefighters Lifeguards Law enforcement Flight attendants Social workers Physical therapists Personal benefits While CPR certification helps you gain professional qualifications, its use also extends beyond the workplace. You can use CPR in public to help someone who's experiencing cardiac distress. You can also use the knowledge you gain to help a family member or friend in an emergency situation. Young adults can also earn a CPR certification to enhance babysitting credentials or add skills to a volunteer resume.
