Heartsaver® CPR AED is a classroom, video-based, instructor-led course that teaches adult CPR and AED use, as well as how to relieve an adult of choking. This course teaches skills with AHA’s research-proven Practice-While-Watching (PWW) technique, which allows instructors to observe the students, provide feedback, and guide the students’ learning of skills. This course is for anyone with limited or no medical training.
The Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers Classroom Course provides healthcare professionals with the ability to recognize several life-threatening emergencies, provide CPR, use an AED, and relieve choking in a safe, timely, and effective manner. This course is for healthcare professionals who need to know how to perform CPR, as well as other lifesaving skills, in a wide variety of in-hospital and out-of-hospital settings.
According to the AHA, about 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital. However, if more people knew CPR, more lives could be saved. Immediate performance of CPR can double, or even triple, a victim’s chance of survival.
