What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a technique that manually pumps blood to deliver oxygen to the organs during a cardiac arrest when the heart cannot beat on its own. When it is not beating, the heart fails to pump blood to the body's major organs, including the brain. These organs need the oxygen contained in blood to survive, and without it, severe brain damage will occur within four minutes, and the victim will die within ten minutes. Therefore, performing immediate CPR dramatically improves a victim's chances of survival. You can check out our FREE CPR course if you are looking for a quick way to learn how to save a life.

What is the correct way to perform CPR?

Rescuers should perform CPR according to the latest guidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA), which lists the following steps:

  • Check the victim for responsiveness. If they do not respond and they do not have a pulse, have another bystander call 911 and begin performing CPR as soon as possible. Remember that acting quickly is critical to a victim's survival, so rescuers should not delay beginning CPR or take any breaks for more than 10 seconds at a time once they start.
  • Perform chest compressions, pressing down a minimum of 2 inches on the victim's chest at a rate of 120 compressions per minute. Continue compressions until emergency medical assistance arrives. If another rescuer is present, take turns delivering compressions and frequently alternate to avoid fatigue.
  • Perform CPR at a ratio of 30 compressions to 2 rescue breaths and continue this pattern until emergency medical staff arrives. If a victim’s normal breath returns, rescuers can continue to perform compressions only.

How and when do I perform mouth-to-mouth?

Use rescue breathing when a victim is not breathing normally on their own. To begin, rescuers should ensure that the victim's airway opens by tilting the head back. After delivering 30 chest compressions, rescuers should place their mouth over the victim's mouth, give one rescue breath and observe if their chest rises. If not, rescuers should give a second breath before resuming chest compressions. Continue using the ratio of 30:2 compressions to rescue breaths until the victim has returned to normal breathing, then continue compressions until emergency personnel arrives. If two rescuers are present, use a ratio of 15:2 compressions to rescue breaths.

What is the correct way to treat an unconscious choking victim?

When a rescuer discovers an unconscious person, they should first call 911, check for a pulse, and check their airway. If they determine that the victim is choking on something blocking their throat, they must perform the Heimlich maneuver. Roll the victim onto their back and tilt the chin upwards to open the airway. If possible, remove any visible objects in the mouth. Next, perform CPR chest compressions, which should dislodge the item and open their airway. If the rescuer cannot clear the airway and the victim remains unconscious, continue chest compressions until emergency medical services arrive.

Q. What are the first aid basics that everyone should know?

First aid is used to preserve life and treat accidental injuries until a person can seek further medical care. Some of the most common injuries that a first aid course covers are bone fractures, poisoning, head injuries, wounds, choking, and burns. Both in-person and online classes will cover these basics. Free first aid classes will teach helpful information but do not provide certification. Individuals who wish to receive formal CPR or first aid certification should ensure that any course they take can provide them with the credentials that they need upon completion.


Q: What are the options for BLS and CPR classes near me?

Basic life support (BLS), CPR, and first aid classes are offered across Arkansas throughout municipalities like El Dorado and Pine Bluff. Community centers, hospitals, and public health organizations provide a variety of courses. Online classes are a convenient alternative for individuals who do not live in an area where courses are offered or for busy professionals who prefer to complete their training according to their schedule and pace. It is worth noting that free CPR classes and free BLS renewal are informative but will not offer certification upon completion. American Red Cross or American Heart Association certification courses will cover standard lifesaving techniques and more specialized first aid procedures like child or infant CPR.


Q. How can I enhance my CPR and first aid knowledge?

The best way to maximize CPR and first aid skills is to stay current with certification renewals. Individuals should ensure that they renew their certification by completing refresher training within the timeframe indicated on their CPR card. People interested in further education should consider a first responder course or specialized courses on baby first aid or mental health first aid in addition to their CPR and first aid certification.


Q. Where can I find CPR and first aid renewals near me?

Participants can renew their CPR and first aid credentials the same way they earned their initial certification or through classes offered throughout Arkansas. Alternatively, they may opt for the convenience of renewing their certificate by completing an online course and exam.
