What is covered in a four hour CPR class?

Article Category: Education

Author Name: Thomas Anguella Jr.

A lot. There's always a wealth of information to be obtained from taking a CPR certification course. From understanding what to do before 9-1-1 arrives to holding a steady level of confidence on the scene; taking a CPR class can be fulfilling. Let's break down what you could expect to get out of taking a local CPR class. The focus of any CPR course should be around the most effective chest compression technique. With regards to current scientific research, there is a great emphasis on chest compressions, in fact the significance is greater now than ever. Recent studies have shown that individuals who receive compressions immediately after a sudden cardiac arrest will sustain the best odds of survival. Remember, if you forget what to do "Push Hard and Push Fast" (American Heart Association, 2010).

How to identify, and what to do when an emergency becomes unsafe for rescuers should also be covered in a CPR course. Understanding when to evacuate the scene is an important skill for the professional rescuer. This is important because if the individual rescuer is harmed they will no longer be able to help. Identifying the resources that are available to secure an unsafe scene is important to understand and will be covered in your local CPR class. These resources can include law enforcement officers, poison control agencies, and hazardous materials organizations just to name a few. (American Heart Association, 2010)

Another technique, covered in your local CPR class, will be the most effective way to give breaths to your patient. Even though chest compression are higher up on the importance spectrum than breathing, it is still important to give breathes and to understand the correct and most effective techniques in doing so. With the evolving scientific research, techniques for giving adequate breaths may be different from your current understanding. It is important to understand the most up to date techniques, so that you can adequately and confidently ventilate your patient. (American Heart Association, 2010)

Finally, the use of an AED (automated external defibrillator) should be covered in a CPR class. In some CPR classes this device is more extensively identified, however in most CPR classes the use of an AED is limited to simply turning the device ON. It is important for individual rescuers to remain confident especially when in an emergency situation, therefore only acknowledging how to turn on the AED can help rescuers from getting confused when pressures are high. AED's are manufactured to be semi-automatic or fully automatic, which means the AED will guide the rescuer beginning when the device is turned ON. This is why turning on the AED is so important, and why turning ON the AED is so heavily emphasized in any local CPR class. (American Heart Association, 2010)

So there you have it. But remember, the only way to truly understand all of the life saving techniques and efforts to save an individual in cardiac arrest is to take a local CPR class and stay up to date with the skills.
