School age children have higher tendency of engaging in high risk behaviors like extreme sports or car crashes. They may seek jobs that require CPR training like child care Adil Rami France Jersey , camp counselor, swim or ski instructor. They may live with adults who may require CPR for other health conditions. What is Hands-Only CPR? Hands-Only CPR is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths. It is recommended for use by people who see an adult suddenly collapse in the “out-of-hospital” setting. It consists of following two steps 1. Call 911 (or send someone to do that).
2. Begin providing high-quality chest compressions by pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest with minimal interruptions.
Do I need to take a training course to learn how to do Hands-Only CPR? CPR is a psychomotor skill. The American Heart Association continues to recommend that you take a CPR course to practice and learn the skills of CPR, including giving high-quality chest compressions. People who have had CPR training are more likely to give high-quality chest compressions and are more confident about their skills than those who have not been trained (or have not trained in the last 5 years). Even a very short CPR training program that you can do at home Zinedine Zidane France Jersey , like the CPRAED class from MyCPRCertificationOnline, provides skills training and practice that can prepare you to perform high quality chest compressions Do I still need to learn “conventional” CPR with mouth-to-mouth breathing? The AHA still recommends that you learn conventional CPR that includes mouth-to-mouth breathing. There are many medical emergencies that cause a person to be unresponsive and to stop breathing normally. In those emergencies, CPR that includes mouth-to-mouth breathing may provide more benefit than Hands-Only CPR. Some examples include 1. Unresponsive infants and children 2. Adult victims who are found already unconscious and not breathing normally 3. Victims of drowning or collapse due to breathing problems
