Shelly Waker is shopping at the grocery store one day when she stops and selects one of the food samples served. As she takes a bite, a toddler comes racing down the aisle. In a hurry to dodge the three-year-old, who excitedly dashes right past her, Shelly swallows a large chunk of the food sample without chewing and immediately begins to choke. The employee serving the samples sees her, notices that she is having difficulty breathing, and immediately begins performing the Heimlich Maneuver.
The Heimlich Maneuver is a skill you learn in CPR class at Nurse Resource Training Center, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, commonly known as CPR, is used in emergencies such as cardiac arrest or any situation where a person’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped. It can be the key to saving someone’s life.
Percentage of Lives Saved
According to the CDC, approximately nine out of ten people who experience cardiac arrest outside of the hospital die. However, CPR helps to improve those odds. CPR can double or triple a person’s chance of survival when performed in the first few minutes of cardiac arrest. While it can increase the likelihood of someone surviving, we can’t ignore that nearly 350,000 Americans die from cardiac arrest in one year alone.
How to Get Certified and When to Get a Renewal
CPR certification is simple and offered here at the Nurse Resource Training Center. We focus on providing high-quality education to underserved individuals, empowering them with the knowledge and skills to obtain an entry-level healthcare position. One way this is done is by offering CPR/AED, CPR/First Aid, Basic Life Support, and Middle/High School CPR, AED, Choking, and First Aid courses. Remember that the CPR certification is valid for two years; afterward, you must renew your certification. Courses are three to five hours. It is a one-day class. An ebook or Physical book is included.
Who Should Be CPR Certified?
Although healthcare providers, nursing home staff, daycare staff, police, firefighters, CNAs, lifeguards, and babysitters are required to be certified, anyone responsible for the care of another should be as well. Because most cardiac arrest cases happen at home, knowing how to provide basic CPR while waiting for emergency responders to arrive on the scene could make all the difference for a loved one, neighbor, or friend.
Because there was an employee that was CPR certified, Shelly Walker’s life was saved. It is worth locating a center that provides training for anyone wanting certification. Emergency responders aren’t always able to arrive in time. Although formal training isn’t necessarily needed to perform CPR on an individual, you will need to know the proper steps to take to be thoroughly prepared. The right training will help you learn the appropriate positions, procedures, and methods.
