What is CPR?
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is a life-saving technique used in emergencies when someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped. This can happen due to heart attacks, drowning, choking, or sudden cardiac arrest.
Why is CPR Important?
CPR helps keep blood and oxygen flowing to the brain and other vital organs until medical help arrives. Performing CPR immediately can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival.
How is CPR Performed?
CPR involves two key steps:
1️⃣ Chest Compressions – Pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest to keep blood circulating.
2️⃣ Rescue Breaths (if trained) – Providing mouth-to-mouth breaths to supply oxygen.
Hands-Only CPR: If you are not trained in rescue breaths, you can still perform chest compressions only until emergency responders arrive.
At NHS, I provide CPR training for individuals, parents, caregivers, healthcare workers, and anyone who wants to be prepared to save a life. Get certified today—because knowing CPR can mean the difference between life and death.
