What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a technique performed to save lives in the event of a cardiac arrest, which occurs when the heart unexpectedly stops beating. When the heart stops, it does not pump oxygen to the body's major organs, which are contained in the blood. Brain damage occurs within four minutes without oxygen, and death can occur within ten minutes. CPR manually pumps oxygenated blood to the organs and, as a result, significantly increases a cardiac arrest victim's chance of survival when performed within the first few minutes after the collapse.
‍

Why should you learn CPR and Basic Life Support Skills?

CPR and Basic life support training provide individuals with the skills necessary to save lives in critical medical emergencies, such as cardiac arrest management. Without immediate and appropriate attention, victims of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and obstructed airways can lose their lives.

Our CPR certification class provides comprehensive training in performing high-quality CPR and the functions and features of AEDs, following the guidelines of the American Heart Association. They also include the fundamentals of delivering first aid, which can benefit a wide range of emergency situations. With Basic Life Support, you can develop your critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

Anyone can take CPR training classes, whether you are a healthcare provider, medical professional, emergency medical responder, child care provider, public safety professional, or workplace employee.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Browse through our frequently asked questions to learn more about our courses. Our support team is always standing by for further assistance and questions

Q. Are BLS and CPR classes the same thing?

No. BLS classes include CPR training but are more complex and intensive. It is a higher level of medical care, typically administered by healthcare and public safety professionals. Basic Life Support involves learning the same curriculum taught in CPR class. However, there are more in-depth practices involved.

Taking quality training in CPR and AED will be an excellent first step to getting your Basic Life Support or Advanced Life Support certification. The CPR class will provide you with the skills needed to save someone's life.

Q. What is an AED, and when is one needed?

CPR pumps blood to the organs when the heart stops during a cardiac emergency, but restarting the heart requires an automated external defibrillator (AED). These devices are available in public areas like airports, subway stations, libraries, schools, parks, shopping malls, and sports arenas. An AED is needed when a victim does not have a pulse.

After delivering five cycles of chest compressions, another bystander should go to retrieve an AED. The voice-automated device 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 may continue rescue breathing if the victim is not breathing on their own. 

Q. What are my options for BLS and CPR classes near me?

In-person classes in a traditional classroom setting are available in any major city in Virginia, including Richmond. In addition, hospitals, community centers, and local health organizations offer American Red Cross CPR and first aid certification classes, typically on evenings and weekends.

If you don't live in an area where a BLS/CPR course is offered, or you prefer to complete your certification on your own schedule, many training centers and training organizations like USCPR Online offer online certification classes in CPR and BLS. A certificate with student training information will be provided upon successful completion.

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

According to the American Red Cross and American Heart Association guidelines, individuals must renew their CPR and first aid certification to keep their current certification card active. CPR cards have the expiration date clearly indicated, so individuals can be sure to renew their certification before it becomes invalid. Individuals must complete a CPR and first aid course and exam to renew. In addition to taking renewal courses, participants may also choose to expand their knowledge by including a first responder course or by taking a class on child or infant CPR.

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

Healthcare providers and other individuals can complete CPR training and first aid certification renewals by taking recertification courses, either in-person skills sessions in cities across Virginia or may opt for the convenience of an online BLS renewal class near me.
