Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a basic life support gesture, which once implemented, either by a medical professional or an average citizen with some level of training, can double, or sometimes even triple, a cardiac arrest victim�s chances of survival. Throughout the country, there are a multitude of organizations and healthcare training companies that offer various types of CPR classes, for anyone interested in attending. Following, you will find information on four types of CPR classes you should know about.
Adult CPR
Adult CPR represents the most common type of class. During this type of course, participants will learn the basic symptoms that can help them recognize a victim of cardiac arrest and the protocol used to revive a person who has stopped breathing. Typically, live classes use mannequins to teach participants how to properly perform chest compressions and mouth to mouth breaths. Some adult CPR classes may also teach attendees how to use automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to help with the resuscitation protocol. Basic CPR classes are perfect for the average individual who has no knowledge of the medical field.
Adult CPR classes can also be further divided into categories: basic life support, advanced life support, or CPR classes focused on the use of AEDs. The exact curriculum of each type of class differs according to the organization that is handling the training program.
Child CPR
For children under the age of 8 and infants, CPR protocols differ from the one used for adults. For example, on children, chest compressions are performed using only one hand, whileon babies using only two fingers. Similarly, in babies it is more important to first support the respiratory function, rather than focusing on compressing the chest. There are numerous organizations and training companies out there that offer child and infant CPR classes, especially designed for parents, medical practitioners who care for children, or the average citizen interested in learning this skill.
Pet CPR
Pet owners, veterinarians, or other professionals who work with animals, can also enroll in CPR classes. These types of classes focus on CPR techniques, which are somewhat similar to those used for humans, that can be applied on various domestic animals, such as dogs and cats. Typically, a pet CPR class is taught together with a first aid course for animals.
EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) CPR
For the average citizen, basic CPR classes are more than enough. However, first responders or health care providers have to undergo a more specialized course in order to get certified. EMT CPR classes focus mostly on AEDs rather than on manual techniques and also teach participants how to use resuscitation masks, oxygen tubes, and adrenaline shots. In general, the validity of an EMT CPR certificate lasts for one or two years.
When looking for a CPR class to attend, you have to keep in mind that there are various types, so browse cautiously and pick the perfect one for you. The four types of CPR classes presented above represent the most common ones available, but there are others, so do not make any hasty decisions.
