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.
Using the latest American Heart Association (AHA) recommendations, rescuers should perform CPR with the following guidelines:
Rescuers who are CPR certified can perform rescue breathing in cases where the victim is not breathing on their own, using the following steps:
Any severe injury, such as blood loss or trauma, can cause victims to experience shock. Signs of shock include confusion, cold and clammy skin, dilated pupils, nausea, or unconsciousness. Shock can cause a decrease in the amount of oxygenated blood that reaches the organs, and as a result, untreated shock can be fatal. Rescuers should perform CPR to treat shock if the victim is unresponsive and doesn't have a pulse. Position the victim to lie down and elevate the feet twelve inches above the heart to increase blood pressure and prevent fainting. Check for other injuries while waiting for emergency medical services to arrive and treat them accordingly.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
All first aid classes, including free ones, will cover basic first aid procedures for treating a range of injuries, such as burns, choking, poisoning, head injuries, wounds, and bone fractures. Both in-person and online courses will teach individuals these first aid procedures. Many will also offer American Red Cross or American Heart Association first aid training to complete the class. In addition, many courses will teach child CPR, CPR for infants, and instructions for first responders.
Basic life support (BLS) and CPR classes are available at hospitals, community health centers, fire halls, and other training centers across South Dakota, including Aberdeen and Watertown. There is a variety of certification training such as classroom type, blended learning styles, and online training.
Online classes are a convenient alternative to attending in-person skills sessions for individuals who prefer independent learning. Participants should confirm that classes have a CPR or first aid certification component for the most reputable training. While many courses are available free of charge, individuals should be aware that these are intended for instruction only and do not offer formal AHA or Red Cross CPR or first aid certification.
CPR renewals ensure that an individual's knowledge is up to date with the latest American Heart Association guidelines for Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Individuals can easily renew their certification by completing a refresher CPR and first aid course and exam. Experienced medical professionals or health providers have the option of bypassing the course and completing the testing portion only, allowing them to save time when renewing their certification.
