Community CPR Classes and AED Training
Safety First provides CPR training in Jacksonville, FL and the surrounding areas. CPR certification is awarded when the CPR class is successfully finished. CPR training and certification is important for many professionals, but is also important for anyone with a family member who may have heart disease.
Sudden cardiac arrest outside a hospital is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. with more than 350,000 people each year affected. Over 85% of them die. Administering CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) can increase the chances of survival dramatically.ย That is why CPR certification is critical for every family.
Studies show that brain death begins within only four minutes after the heart stops beating. CPR helps the heart continue to pump blood throughout the body until an ambulance or health professional can arrive. In fact, the chances of surviving sudden cardiac arrest actually doubles when someone provides CPR in the first few minutes of cardiac arrest.
Yet too few people actually know how to administer CPR. It is estimated that fewer than 30% of those experiencing cardiac arrest will receive CPR from a bystander. Despite this, only 3% of Americans attend CPR classes each year. CPR certification is an important way to protect your family, friends, neighbors and anyone in the community who suffers cardiac arrest.
Safety First Jacksonville offers training in Infant CPR, as well as CPR classes for adults and children. CPR certification for health professionals also is available.
