This program does NOT include first aid recertification. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation involves a series of lifesaving procedures designed to maintain blood circulation and oxygenation in someone whose heart has stopped. By performing CPR in an emergency cardiac arrest situation, you can keep someone alive until professional medical help arrives. An Automated External Defibrillator, or AED, is an electronic device that analyzes the heart’s rhythm, and if an abnormal rhythm is detected, delivers an electrical shock, stopping the heart and allowing it to reset. When used in conjunction with CPR, a patient’s chances of survival are greatly increased.
