Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
is an emergency first aid protocol for a
victim of cardiac arrest. It is a procedure
begun on an unbreathing unconscious person
and continued until action can be taken to
restart the heart or otherwise diagnose the
problem.
First Aid is the immediate and
temporary proper aid provided to a sick or
injured person or animal until medical
treatment can be provided. It generally
consists of series of simple, life-saving
medical techniques that a non-doctor or lay
person can be trained to perform with
minimal equipment.
This workshop is ideal for: All lay
rescuers, such as employees in the
workplace, daycare workers, baby-sitters,
fitness instructors, exercise enthusiast,
individuals of family members at high risk
for sudden cardiac death, other
non-professional, and those who may respond
to an emergency.
