Did you know...
The average response time for 911 first responders is 8-10 minutes after placing the call?
That's not bad until you consider the brain starts to die in 4-6 minutes. What you do for someone that is not breathing or in cardiac arrest before 911 arrives can mean the difference bt. them living and dying. A patient losses 10% chance of recovering for every minute CPR is not being performed.
- Over 88% of all cardiac and breathing emergencies occur in the home.
- choking is a leading cause of death in children.
- Americans suffer over 1.5 million heart attacks each year?
Approximately 350,000 of these people die before ever reaching a hospital. Fear of not knowing what to do or doing the wrong thing can easily be avoided by learning some simple steps. The American Heart Association has made learning CPR even easier with fun educational videos. Medright uses these videos with new real time feedback mannequins. So you will know immediately if you are performing the steps correctly.
There are many levels of CPR that are designed for the general public. Whether you are a new parent, babysitter, caregiver for a loved one or simply want to be prepared when the time comes that someone needs help there is a right level for you.
Medright's staff members know the importance of CPR. We know the outcomes when a bystander took action and when no one knew what to do. We are very passionate about teaching CPR: not only is it included in all the programs we teach, we have also taught it to Scouts, Venture Crew, police officers, grandparents, middle schoolers and public educators.
