What is CPR?
CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. It’s an emergency
procedure performed to manually preserve brain function and prevent
death by maintaining blood circulation and oxygenation when someone’s
heart or breathing has stopped.

Why is CPR important?
CPR is crucial because it can save lives during cardiac arrest or other
emergencies where a person’s heartbeat or breathing has stopped.
Immediate CPR can double or triple the chance of survival until medical
help arrives.

Who should be certified in CPR?
Ideally, anyone who is physically capable should consider getting certified
in CPR. This includes healthcare professionals, teachers, parents,
caregivers, lifeguards, and anyone who wants to be prepared to help in
emergencies.

What are the benefits of CPR certification?
CPR certification equips individuals with the knowledge and skills to
respond effectively in life-threatening situations. It builds confidence,
increases preparedness, and can make a critical difference in saving
someone’s life.

How often should CPR training be renewed?
CPR training certifications typically need to be renewed every two years to
ensure that individuals are up to date with the latest techniques and
guidelines.

What is the Good Samaritan Law?
The Good Samaritan Law protects individuals who provide reasonable
assistance to those who are injured or in peril. It encourages people to
help in emergencies without fear of legal repercussions as long as they
act in good faith and within their training.

Is CPR training only for adults?
No, CPR training encompasses techniques for adults, children, and infants.
Different approaches are used based on the age and size of the person
needing assistance.

Can CPR be performed on pregnant women?
Yes, CPR can be performed on pregnant women. Special considerations
may be needed to ensure the safety of both the mother and the unborn
baby.

What if I’m not confident in my CPR skills?
Continuous practice and refresher courses can help boost confidence in
CPR skills. It’s important to remember that any attempt at CPR, even if not
perfect, can still significantly improve a person’s chances of survival.

Can CPR cause harm?
When performed correctly, CPR should not cause harm. The benefits of
CPR far outweigh the risks, especially in situations where immediate
action is needed to save a life.
