Five Reasons to Take A Red Cross CPR Lifesaving Course Now

CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and it’s a proven lifesaving technique anyone can learn and use. CPR saves lives.
It’s a combination of rescue breathing—mouth-to-mouth resuscitation—and chest compressions. When performed on a person whose heartbeat or breathing has stopped, CPR can restore breathing and circulation of oxygen-rich blood to the lungs and brain. Without oxygen, permanent brain damage or death can occur in under eight minutes. That’s why everyone should know how to give CPR.
1. Learning CPR is quick, easy and inexpensive—and prompt, effective administration of CPR can mean the difference between life and death for someone you care about!
2. By performing CPR, you increase the chances of a full recovery for the affected person.
3. A Red Cross CPR training course will give you the skills—and the confidence—to correctly respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies.
4. CPR guidelines were revised and streamlined to increase both the ease and effectiveness of application.
5. The more people who know CPR, the more lives can be saved!
