CPR

We provide American Heart Association Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation classes. The CPR course is for new certification, re-certification or renewal.

How To Pass Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation

CPR can be very easy for those who have been in the medical field for some time. Those who are new to CPR or the medical field may find it difficult to grasp exactly what to expect or how to prepare for the course.

I have found that it is easier to learn new concepts or information if we can some how associate the two with something tangible.

I have listed a few steps that have helped me and former students accelerate the learning curve.

• Get a Baby Doll, Teddy Bear or or something that resembles the human body. ( Use the Baby Doll as a manikin for practice)
• Practice the AHA CPR Algorithms in chronological order
• Have a friend or relative to check you off as you go through the patient assessment
• Practice as if the Cardiac Arrest is happening in real life
• Remember, How you practice is how you will perform in a real situation

The American Heart Association provides additional options to help you prepare for the CPR Certification Course.

The one thing you will need to feel comfortable with is the LOC, ABC’s Assessment.

1. Level of Consciousness assesses the patients level of consciousness… Hence the acronym, LOC.
2. Airway Assessment evaluates if the patient has a patent, open and clear airway for air to enter and leave the lungs.
3. Breathing Assessment evaluates whether or not the patient is breathing at the basic level.
4. Circulation Assessment evaluates if the patient has a palpable pulse present.

• This sums up the acronym LOC, ABC’s. This acronym is the foundation of most medical assessments.
