Wounds and Bleeding
Splinting broken or damaged limbs
Early recognition of stroke, heart attack, asthma attack, allergic reactions and diabetic emergencies
How to use 911 and request the appropriate resource
How to remain safe on an emergency site
What does CPR do?
In short CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) provides mechanical assistance to a heart that has stopped beating effectively ( more on that later). When chest compression's are provided, this helps circulate the remaining oxygen rich blood to the brain in order to preserve brain function during a resuscitation attempt before other advanced care and an AED can be used.
The quicker you provide CPR, when you recognize someone's heart has stopped, will increase the chances of survival before help arrives (advanced care)
