Benefits to Being CPR Certified: Emergenices can hapen when least expected, Every second counts, CPR also prevents Brain Death, and Have the confidence to act when needed

Why Learn to use an AED? Sudden cardiac arrest is among the leading causes of death in the United States. In fact, more than 350,000 people will suffer a cardiac arrest this year. Currently, the only way to restore a regular heart rhythm during cardiac arrest is to use an AED.

CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It can help save a life during cardiac arrest, when the heart stops beating or beats too ineffectively to circulate blood to the brain and other vital organs

AED stands for automated external defibrillator, which is a portable device that can help people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest.
