It is so very important to learn CPR; it could help you keep a loved one alive while waiting for Emergency Medical Attention. The more we practice these life-saving skills, the more prepared we will be. Plan to attend a “Community Bystander CPT & AED Use Class” hosted by the LifeNet and Wake Village Police Department.

WHAT?
The Bystander CPR (B-CPR) & AED Use Class is designed to teach everyday people how to perform quality chest compressions and utilize an AED. The class includes a 20-minute lecture. The remaining portion of the class is hands-on practice.

WHY?
Every year, more than 350,000 Americans experience sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), when the heart stops beating without any warning. Quality chest compressions help keep blood circulating in the body to deliver oxygen to the brain and other organs until EMS crews arrive on the scene. If that does not happen, death is imminent within minutes.

While not every person who receives CPR immediately survives, someone’s chances of survival increase greatly when a bystander who witnesses an SCA event starts CPR immediately. Additionally, SCA survivors who received B-CPR have a better prognosis of surviving without brain damage or other medical problems.

NEED CERTIFICATION?
This class is NOT a CPR Certification Class. In order to be CPR certified, you must attend a class that teaches you rescue breathing, how to perform CPR on a child, and other topics. Many area community colleges offer certified CPR Classes for a fee.
