What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique used when a cardiac emergency occurs. Cardiac arrest happens if the heart unexpectedly stops beating. Without a heartbeat, the heart cannot pump blood to the body’s major organs like the brain and liver. Blood contains oxygen, which these organs require to survive. Without oxygen, severe brain damage occurs within four minutes, and death occurs within ten minutes. CPR manually pumps oxygenated blood to the organs when the heart cannot do so due to cardiovascular complications.

What are the basic guidelines for performing CPR?

Rescuers must perform CPR as soon as possible after cardiac arrest victim collapses to give them the best chance of survival. To begin, rescuers should check the victim for responsiveness and determine if they have a pulse. If there is no pulse, they should call 911 and immediately begin CPR.

The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends that rescuing individuals perform CPR with the following steps:

  • Kneel above the victim’s chest with the arms straight, placing one hand on top of the other in the center of the chest.
  • Perform rapid compressions of the victim’s chest at a rate of 2 compressions per second or 120 compressions per minute. Ensure that each compression presses at least 2 inches down into the chest.
  • It is recommended that non-CPR certified rescuers perform compressions only, as this is the most straightforward technique. If CPR certified, rescuers may perform rescue breathing when the victim is not breathing on their own.
  • Rescuers must clear the airway by tilting the head back to begin rescue breathing. Next, they will place their mouth on top of the victim’s mouth, deliver one rescue breath, and then look to see if the victim’s chest rises. If the chest does not rise, give the second breath and resume chest compressions. If the chest rise, the rescuer may return to performing chest compressions. Continue to deliver two rescue breaths for every 30 chest compressions until the victim is breathing normally or until emergency medical support arrives.

How does infant CPR differ from child CPR?

Due to an infant’s much smaller size, a gentler touch is used than what is required for adult CPR. Compressions should be 1/3 the depth of the infant’s total chest depth. Rescuers may only need to use several fingers to compress the chest, and rescue breaths should be less forceful. If using an AED to restart the heart, use the pediatric pads that come with the AED.

What is the treatment procedure for choking in adults?

When an adult is choking on an object blocking the throat, a rescuer should ask the victim if they are choking by using the universal sign for choking, which is to mimic choking yourself. If a victim is choking, the rescuer must perform the Heimlich maneuver. To do this, the rescuers must stand behind the victim, lean them forward and wrap their arms around the victim's waist. Perform five quick thrusts, pressing a closed fist into the victim's abdomen and holding the fist with the other hand. If the object does not clear the victim's throat, repeat the Heimlich maneuver as needed.

Q. What information is included in free first aid classes?

Free online first aid classes are an excellent resource for learning the basics of treating injuries in emergencies. Some of the main first aid procedures covered include treatment of burns, poisoning, choking, bone fractures, wounds, eye injuries, head injuries, and seizures. Unfortunately, as with free CPR classes, free first aid instruction will not provide certification upon completion. A proper course with a CPR and first aid test is required to obtain official first aid and CPR certification.


Q. Where can I find BLS and CPR classes near me?

Basic life support (BLS) and CPR certification courses are available in various training centers throughout Georgia, with many options for classes in main centers like Atlanta or Augusta. These courses are typically available at community health organizations, community centers, or fire halls. In addition to in-person classes, individuals may obtain CPR certification by taking an online course, which is convenient for many people. It is essential to recognize that while many CPR classes are available free of charge, those should be for information purposes only as they do not provide participants with the same certification that paid courses do.


Q. How can I keep my CPR and First aid knowledge up to date?

Individuals must renew their CPR and first aid certification according to the Red Cross and American Heart Association guidelines. CPR cards have the expiration date clearly indicated, so individuals, including medical professionals, healthcare providers, and public safety professionals, can be sure to renew their certification before it becomes invalid. It's a responsibility to keep their current certification active.


Q. Where are CPR and first aid certification renewals available near me?

Individuals may renew their certification in person by attending CPR training, or they may obtain bls certification renewal through an online course. First responders and healthcare professionals may opt for a direct online exam to avoid repeating the CPR class portion of their CPR and first aid renewal course.
