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 latest CPR guidelines?

According to the American Heart Association's (AHA) latest guidelines, there are two main types of CPR: compressions-only CPR (also known as hands-only CPR) and CPR with rescue breathing. To begin either type, rescuers should check victims for responsiveness and a pulse. If neither are present, call 911 to report a cardiac arrest and begin CPR immediately. The procedure for CPR is:

Compressions-only CPR
Kneeling above the victim, rescuers should deliver rapid compressions to the center of the victim's chest, using both hands to pump at least 2 inches down into the chest at a rate of 100 - 120 beats per minute, and allowing the chest to recoil between compressions. Continue, without taking breaks, until emergency medical personnel arrive on the scene and can take over.

CPR with Rescue Breathing
If the victim is not breathing normally, rescuers should begin by performing 30 chest compressions, then tilting the head back and lifting the chin upwards to clear their airway. Next, rescuers should seal their mouth over the victim's and deliver one rescue breath, watching for the victim's chest to rise. If it does not inflate, give a second rescue breath. After giving two rescue breaths, resume chest compressions at a ratio of 30 compressions to 2 breaths. Continue delivering rescue breaths until the victim begins breathing normally or until emergency medical assistance can take over.

What is an AED, and when is it required?

CPR works by manually pumping blood to the organs, but restarting the heart requires an automated external defibrillator (AED). These devices are available for public use in airports, libraries, shopping malls, sports arenas, subway stations, schools, and parks. After delivering five cycles of chest compressions, a rescuer should go to retrieve an AED, or they may send another bystander to bring one to the scene. AEDs are voice-automated devices that will guide the rescuer through each step of use. After using the AED, rescuers should confirm that the victim’s pulse returns before they stop delivering chest compressions. They should continue rescue breathing if the victim is not breathing on their own.

Q. What information will I learn in a first aid course?

First aid classes will teach participants the basics of treating accidental injuries and preventing further harm. The main procedures that will be covered include treating bone fractures, wounds, burns, poisoning, choking, seizures, eye injuries, and head injuries. It is essential to remember that free first aid or CPR training classes tend to provide instruction only and will not provide certification upon completion. Individuals who wish to obtain official certification require an authorized course with a CPR and first aid exam.


Q. When should burn victims seek treatment?

First degree burns are painful but are treatable at home by applying a cold compress, covering the area with ointment, and taking a pain reliever medication like Tylenol or Advil. Second-degree burns cause severe pain, blistering, and swelling as they penetrate the first layer of skin and reach the second layer. Individuals can also treat second-degree burns at home unless they are larger than three inches in diameter, in which case victims should seek further medical attention.


Q: Where are BLS, first aid, and CPR classes available near me?

Basic life support (BLS), first aid, and CPR certification courses are offered at many locations throughout the state of Vermont, with many options in the main centers like Fort Collins, Aurora, and Pueblo. Fire halls, community centers, and local health organizations are some of the locations that offer CPR certification classes and Red Cross first aid techniques. Some of these first aid courses are free, and others provide more in-depth training and formal certification.

Online courses are an excellent option for busy participants or those who live in remote locations. Individuals should note that free CPR and first aid classes may provide participants with accurate information but may lack the actual certification from completing a reputable American Red Cross or other authorized course.

Q. How do I stay current with my CPR and first aid knowledge?

Individuals need to renew CPR and first aid knowledge regularly to remain confident in their abilities and stay current on the latest guidelines. Many students become even more passionate about lifesaving procedures after completing first aid and CPR courses. They may wish to upgrade their training to include a first responder course or classes that teach child CPR or CPR for infants. Individuals should prioritize renewing their credentials within the timeframe indicated on their CPR card.


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

Recertification is obtained by completing in-person group CPR and first aid recertification courses in locations throughout Vermont or through an online course. Online courses are ideal for busy professionals who wish to renew their certification on their schedule or those who prefer to learn at a self-guided pace.
