CPR Training That Builds Real Confidence

More than 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States each year.  When cardiac arrest occurs, the heart stops pumping oxygenated blood to the brain and other vital organs. Calling 911 is the first step—but waiting for help without beginning CPR wastes the minutes that matter most. 

 Permanent brain damage can begin after approximately 4 minutes without oxygen. Organ death in 6-10 minutes. Emergency responders cannot arrive instantly, with response time varying bt 7-10 minutes. Up to 30 minutes in rural areas. 

 CPR helps circulate oxygenated blood to the brain and vital organs until an AED and advanced medical care are available. Immediate CPR can double or triple a person’s chance of survival.  

Approximately 73% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in homes or residences. The person who needs CPR is far more likely to be someone you know and love than a stranger in a public place. 

 CPR and AED skills can be learned by parents, caregivers, employees, teachers, coaches and members of the general public.
