HEARTSAVER CPR AED Student Workbook

Understanding CPR and Its Importance What is CPR? CPR, or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, is a crucial emergency procedure that keeps blood and oxygen flowing to vital organs during cardiac arrest. By performing CPR, you can increase a victim’s chances of survival significantly. This training teaches you the essential techniques, allowing anyone to step in during emergencies. It's easy to learn, accessible, and can make a life-saving difference, so mastering CPR is an invaluable skill for everyone. The Role of AEDs An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable device that analyzes heart rhythms and delivers an electric shock if needed. Learning how to use an AED in conjunction with CPR is vital. Many cardiac arrests are reversible if immediate action is taken, and AEDs are designed for easy use, making it possible for bystanders to act decisively. Therefore, understanding how to effectively use both CPR and AED can save lives. Why Choose Heartsaver CPR AED Training? The Hearts
