]]>What is CPR?
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique useful in many emergencies, including heart attack or near drowning, in which someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped.
CPR Stats and Facts
Seventy percent of Americans feel helpless -to act during a cardiac emergency because they either do not know how to administer CPR or their training has significantly lapsed. Educate yourself today on how to get started with your CPR certification; it could very well be the skill you have to make the ultimate difference to someone you love. Take a look at these stats and then give us a call:

- Nearly 300,000 out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests occur annually
- Many victims appear healthy with no known heart disease or other risk factors.
- African-Americans are almost twice as likely to experience cardiac arrest at home, work or in another public location than Caucasians, and their survival rates are twice as poor as for Caucasians.
- Sudden cardiac arrest is not the same as a heart attack.
- Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when electrical impulses in the heart become rapid or chaotic, which causes the heart to suddenly stop beating.
- A heart attack occurs when the blood supply to part of the heart muscle is blocked. A heart attack may cause cardiac arrest.
- Effective bystander CPR provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest can double or triple a victim’s chance of survival
- If you perform CPR, you can triple the person’s chance of survival
- but only 32% of cardiac arrest victims get CPR from a bystander.
- Hands-Only CPR (CPR with just chest compressions) has been proven to be as effective as CPR with breaths in treating adult cardiac arrest victims.
- Brain death starts to occur within four to 6 minutes after cardiac arrest if no one administers CPR or defibrillation with an AED does not occur during that time.
- Less than 8% of people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital survive.
Don’t be afraid, your actions can only help!
If you see an unresponsive adult who is not breathing or not breathing normally, call 911 and push hard and fast on the center of the chest. Anyone can learn CPR – and everyone should!

]]>The American Heart Association CPR guidelines have recently changed. Resuscitation outcomes improve when high quality chest compressions are started immediately. High quality CPR is defined as “pushing hard and fast”. Below are 6 key changes to understand and keep in mind from the American Heart Associations’ 2015 Guidelines for CPR & Emergency Cardiovascular Care.:
Share This Infographic On Your Site
PUSH HARD & FAST
1. Rate:
In 2010, the recommended rate was “at least 100 compressions per minute”. The 2015 update to the CPR guideline now reflects a target compression rate of 100 to 120 per minute. The reason for the addition of an upper rate limit is that rates faster than 120 will likely result in decreased cardiac output due to incomplete cardiac filling during chest recoil.
2. Depth:
A similar refinement of the guideline is compression depth. The 2015 guideline now defines the target depth for compressions as between 5 and 6 centimeters, or between 2 and 2.4 inches. Why this change? Research reviewed by the AHA revealed that compressions delivered beyond that depth may result in increased risk of resuscitation-related injuries to the victim.
3. Technique:
The AHA’s guidelines continue to point out that rescuer technique will play a major role in the quality of compressions delivered. In resuscitations outside the classroom, rescuers are likely to provide compressions that are too slow, too shallow, and interrupted too often. The importance of psychomotor skill training to develop good technique, with frequent knowledge and skill refresher training continues to be emphasized by the AHA. During training and refreshers, detailed feedback, especially on rate and depth of compressions, should be provided.
4. Sequence:
The 2010 change from the traditional A-B-C sequence to the C-A-B sequence was confirmed in the 2015 guidelines. The emphasis on early initiation of chest compressions without delay for airway assessment or rescue breathing has resulted in improved outcomes.
5. Ratio:
For trained rescuers, the guidelines continue to recommend traditional CPR’s cycles of 30 chest compressions to 2 rescue breaths for single rescuer CPR in all age groups, and 2 rescuer CPR in adults. The 15:2 ratio of compressions to breaths remains the guideline for 2 rescuer CPR for children and infants.
6. AED:
AHA continues to call on communities to increase public access to AEDs. Additionally, the focus on high-quality compressions is also reflected in the continued recommendations supporting compression only CPR, or “hands only” CPR delivered by the general public. The AHA points out that most responders are likely to have a speakerphone equipped cell phone, and bystanders calling 911 can be instructed by EMS dispatchers to perform hands only CPR.
]]>CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is a procedure that will save an individual’s life if they have stopped breathing or their heart has stopped beating. This is usually the result of choking, drowning, suffocation, or other medical issues such as cardiac arrest. CPR is a combo of providing oxygen to the lungs through rescue breathing and keeping the blood flowing by providing chest compressions.
If blood flow does stop, permanent brain damage or even death can happen within just a few minutes. Therefore, response time is critical. An individual can be easily trained in proper CPR procedures through a corporate onsite CPR training course.
Things to Consider
While it’s true that CPR is a lifesaving procedure, it’s best if performed by someone who has been trained. If you have not been trained, consider trying to find a corporate onsite CPR training course to help you learn, especially if you are a parent or someone who cares for children and infants on a regular basis.
The American Heart Association is currently teaching the new technique of emphasizing the importance of chest compressions over rescue breathing. You can still learn the traditional technique if you wish in a corporate onsite CPR training course.
What Causes an Infant’s Heart to Stop?
There are many different things that can cause an infant’s breathing and heartbeat to stop. These include: head trauma, poisoning, choking, electrical shock, suffocation, drowning, and more.
When Should CPR be Performed on an Infant?
If an infant is not breathing, has no pulse, and is unconscious, then CPR should be performed.
Things to Avoid
There are certain things that you should do and certain things you should not. These would be covered in depth in a corporate onsite CPR training program.
If an infant is unconscious, you should never shake them to try to get a response. Pinching them is the best way to try to see if they are okay.
When performing CPR on an infant, you should never lift their chin while tilting the head back to move the tongue from the airway. If you suspect a spinal injury, you should simply pull the jaw forward without disturbing the neck or head. Never allow the mouth to close.
If the infant is breathing normally, moving, or coughing, you should not begin chest compressions because that could result in the heart stopping.
When to Call for Emergency Medical Help
If there is someone else there with you, one of you should call for emergency medical help while the other one begins CPR procedures. However, if you’re alone, loudly call for help and then begin lifesaving procedures. After two minutes, if no help has arrived, you should call for emergency medical response.
As long as you don’t suspect a spinal injury, you can carry the infant with you to a phone if you need to.
Preventing Accidents
In most cases, the incident causing the need for infant CPR is a preventable one. Following are some tips that can help prevent you from needing infant or child CPR.
- Assume an infant is more capable than you think. They can move around much more than you may want to give them credit for.
- You should never leave infants unattended on a surface that they could roll or fall off of.
- When putting a child in a high chair or stroller, always strap them in. You should never leave a child in a playpen with one of the sides down, and always follow precautions when using a car seat.
- You should teach your baby early on the meaning of “no” and “don’t touch.”
- Store toxic cleaning solutions and other chemicals in a childproof cabinet so that children can’t get their hands on them.
- Make sure that the environment is safe for children and infants.
- Always sit with an infant when they are eating – never allow them to move around while eating or drinking.
- Never tie anything around an infant’s wrists or neck.

According to the Mayo Clinic, every year, more than 325,000 people die from sudden cardiopulmonary arrest, making this the leading cause of death in the United States. However, modern medicine has developed a number of tools that are helpful in reviving individuals who are experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. Many of these procedures do actually require medical training, and even in some cases, complex equipment. However, one of these procedures, CPR, needs no help from medical devices and can be used by someone who has only a little training. CPR training can be done through corporate onsite CPR training courses.
Difference Between Heart Attack and Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Many people mistakenly believe that sudden cardiac arrest is the same thing as a heart attack. However, this isn’t true. Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when the heart gets out of rhythm, which causes a disruption in the electrical impulses of the heart. This causes the heart to stop.
A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction, is the end stage of heart disease. This means that over time, blood flow through the heart is slowed.
Both of these medical situations do require immediate medical care, but the results of an SCA episode are much less hopeful. Around five percent of individuals experiencing sudden cardiac arrest will survive. However, many individuals suffering from a heart attack will never completely recover.
When is CPR Appropriate?
Even though the prognoses of these two heart conditions vary so greatly, cardiopulmonary resuscitation can play a role in the individual’s survival. CPR aids in keeping the individual alive until professional medical help can arrive on the scene to provide more extensive attention such as defibrillation and getting them to the hospital for emergency surgery.
In addition to these cardiac events, CPR is also appropriate for medical events such as electrical shock, near drowning, and even carbon monoxide poisoning.
If you see someone suddenly collapse or if you see someone who appears to be lifeless, you will need to first check on them. If it is an adult, you should tap them on the shoulder or shake them, and shout “Are you okay?” If it is a child or infant, you should not shake them – instead, you should pinch them and shout.
If you don’t get a response, you should call for emergency medical assistance and then proceed to attempt resuscitation using cardiopulmonary resuscitation. One of the best ways to learn CPR and basic first aid is through corporate onsite CPR training courses.
The American Heart Association states that hands-only CPR is the best method for reviving a teen or adult, as they will have enough oxygen in their blood until help arrives and you will just need to facilitate the flow of that blood. However, rescue breathing may still be necessary for newborns, infants, and children as they do not have enough oxygen in their blood to flow to vital organs. A corporate onsite CPR training course will teach you the basics of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, as well as basic first aid. While you will not come out of these types of courses as a medical professional, you will know what you need to in order to properly respond to an emergency situation.

]]>If you have taken a corporate onsite CPR training course, chances are that you have learned how to use an automated external defibrillator, or AED. However, before you use an AED on someone that you suspect is experiencing a cardiac arrest episode, you should take a moment to check on the individual.
If you witness an individual collapsing or passing out, or if you come upon an individual who is already unconscious, you should confirm that the individual is unresponsive. You should shout and shake them to make sure they’re not just sleeping. Keep in mind though, that you should never shake an infant or very young child. Instead, you should pinch children in an attempt to wake them up.
What to Do
Before getting out the automated external defibrillator, you should call for emergency personnel. If there is someone else with you, have them call for emergency personnel and get the AED while you are performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which you can learn through a corporate onsite CPR training class.
After calling for emergency personnel and ensuring that they are on the way, you should check the person for a pulse and for breathing. If you notice that either of these are irregular or even absent, you should make preparations to use the AED as soon as possible. Cardiac arrest episodes can result in death if not treated within a few minutes.
If you did not witness the collapse and there is no one who knows the length of time that an individual has been unconscious, or if you don’t have an automated electronic defibrillator, you should do two minutes of CPR. You will be instructed in the proper CPR techniques in a corporate onsite CPR training course.
The American Heart Association encourages you to use “hands-only” CPR instead of traditional CPR. The point is to encourage the oxygenated blood to flow through the individual’s vital organs. Teens and adults have enough oxygen in their bodies to keep their vital organs alive until help arrives. You should do compressions at a rate of 100 per minute.
After you use an AED, or if you do not have access to an AED, you should keep giving CPR until medical help arrives or the person has been revived. You should try to limit your pauses between cycles of CPR.
If you do have access to an AED, after two minutes, you should use the AED to check the individual’s heart rhythm and then, if necessary, give another shock. If another shock is not necessary, simply continue offering cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
How to Use an AED
If you take a corporate onsite CPR training class, you will learn how to properly use an AED. If you have not taken one and don’t have plans in the near future to do so, the following instructions can help you.
Automated External Defibrillators are user-friendly machines that even the untrained bystander can use in order to save the life of an individual who is suffering from a cardiac arrest episode.
Due to the fact that an AED uses electric shock, you will need to make sure that the victim is not near any water or puddles. If they are, try to move them to a dry area – avoid any type of wetness when delivering shocks to a victim.
Turn on the power to the AED. You will see that the device will give you both on-screen prompts and voice prompts on how to use it.
First, expose the victim’s chest. If their chest is wet, dry it. You will see that the AED has sticky pads that have sensors known as electrodes. Look at the pictures on the AED and apply the pads to the victim’s chest as instructed. Make sure that the pads have a strong connection with the skin.
Make sure to remove any metal necklaces or underwire bras – metal could conduct electricity and cause burns. Also, check for any medical devices or body piercings. If either of these are present, keep the pads at least one inch away from them.
Make sure electrodes are connected properly to the AED and no one is touching the victim. Then, press the “analyze” button and the machine will check the victim’s heart rate. If shock is necessary, the AED will let you know when to do so.
As you are instructed in corporate onsite CPR training courses, you will begin or continue CPR until medical personnel arrive or the victim has been revived.

]]>In most cases, taking part in a corporate onsite CPR training class will also include first aid. These types of classes are wonderful because they can teach an individual what to do in case of an emergency. CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is wonderful because you can use it to prevent the victim from suffering brain damage or dying.
What is Basic First Aid?
The term “basic first aid” means the process of first assessing the needs and situation and then addressing those needs of an individual who has been hurt or is in some sort of physiological distress. First aid courses, including corporate onsite CPR training, will help you to easily and quickly determine the physical condition of the individual and then to figure out the best course of treatment. Of course, the help of a medical professional should be sought as soon as possible, but there are some things that you can do to make the difference between life and death for the victim.
What are the Steps for Basic First Aid?
There are four steps that you will need to follow in order to perform first aid. These things would be addressed further in a corporate onsite CPR training course, but this is a great introduction. First, you will need to assess the situation and the victim – this includes calling for help. Then, you will begin caring for the victim. Finally, you should be aware of the various scenarios that could take place – there are some fairly common things that could have happened to the victim; then there are some rarer ones.
Getting Started with Basic First Aid
If you witness a victim in distress, you will need to start with the three C’s of first aid. While it’s true that your priority is helping this victim, you also have a right to make sure that you are protected and safe. This means that before rushing into an emergency situation to help someone, you should take a moment to evaluate the situation and surroundings. Pay attention to whether there are things that could possibly cause you harm. After all, you don’t want to rush into a situation where you will end up just like the person you’re trying to help.
If there are things that could endanger your life, you immediately get professional help. Medical professionals, such as paramedics, have much higher levels of training. Basic first aid, such as that learned in a corporate onsite CPR training course, will become completely useless if you end up hurting yourself.
After assessing the situation, you’re going to need to call for help. If you feel like the individual is seriously injured, you should call for help immediately. On the other hand, if you’re the only one on the scene, and the victim is not breathing, attempt to establish breathing again before calling for help. You should make sure that you never leave the victim alone for an extended period of time.
Finally, now that professional medical help is on the way, you can begin using your first aid training that you learned in your corporate onsite CPR training course to treat the victim. Keep in mind that taking care of a victim that has just experienced a serious trauma will include both emotional support and physical treatment.
One of the most important things to do is to keep yourself calm and try to reassure the victim. Let them know that you do have help on the way and everything is going to be okay. Remember, taking a corporate onsite CPR training class will be the best way to learn both CPR and first aid.

]]>There are many different situations when CPR can potentially save a person’s life or minimize brain damage and other health problems. Though use of CPR is not always enough to guarantee a person’s survival, when used correctly, it can dramatically increase their chances. CPR training in NJ can help you learn how to identify these life-threatening situations and how to immediately respond. With CPR training in NJ, you’ll have to tools to potentially save the life of a friend, coworker, family member, or stranger.
Situations to Use CPR
When you see someone unconscious or collapsed on the ground, they may need CPR and other forms of assistance. CPR, also known as cardio pulmonary resuscitation, can help restore breathing and beating of the person’s heart and save their life. Individuals who complete AED and CPR training in NJ are better prepared to identify people who might need this type of help.
Some situations that may require CPR include drowning, suffocation, heart attack, allergic reaction, choking, and electric shock. One of the most common situations when CPR is needed is during sudden cardiac arrest. This occurs when a person’s heart suddenly stops beating. This is why it’s so important to check breathing and heartbeat when you encounter someone who looks unconscious.
Cardiac arrest typically happens after a person experiences an especially long or severe type of heart arrhythmia, which is when the heart beats in an irregular rhythm or too slowly or quickly. Anyone could have minor cases of arrhythmia, but some people experience arrhythmia more often or have more serious cases of arrhythmia, and this makes sudden cardiac arrest more likely. Some common causes of arrhythmia include:
Coronary Heart Disease
If you have coronary heart disease, your arteries slowly clog with cholesterol and other deposits. This reduces the amount of blood that can flow to your heart and affects the ability of your heart to beat at a proper rhythm.
Heart Attack
During a heart attack, a person may experience ventricular fibrillation, which is when the lower chambers of the heart wither but do not contract effectively. This is one of the most common causes of heart attacks and one of the most common reasons why people need CPR or AED. CPR training in NJ can teach you how to recognize when this is happening and help you provide treatment quickly and correctly.
Congenital Heart Disease
Some people are born with abnormalities in their heart, and this can make the risk of heart attack and arrhythmia higher. This can even affect adolescents and children and cause them to experience sudden cardiac arrest. When providing CPR to younger victims, it’s very important that the person understand what they are doing. Courses that provide CPR training in NJ teach participants how to provide CPR to different ages, so that you are always prepared during an emergency.
Problems With the Electrical System
Every person’s heart is controlled by electrical signals. These electrical signals tell the heart when to contract, how fast to contract, and how much to contract. When the electrical system is working correctly, the heart beats a normal rhythm, but sometimes the electrical systems stops working the way it’s supposed to. These types of problems are known as primary heart abnormalities. Though rare, there are some conditions that can cause these types of abnormalities such as long QT syndrome and Brugada’s syndrome.
These are only a few of the possible causes of arrhythmia and sudden cardiac arrest. There are many different reasons why a person may suddenly require medical attention, and that’s why CPR training in NJ is so important. Contact us to learn more about our programs and services.

]]>After a person completes corporate onsite CPR training, they’ll be prepared to respond in a number of different emergency situations. If someone collapses, they will be able to apply their training and respond appropriately. They’ll even be trained to use the AED, the automated external defibrillator, to provide electrical stimulation to the heart and help the heartbeat at a normal rhythm. Some of the reasons why someone may need CPR include choking, suffocating, electric shock, severe allergic reaction, and drowning.
Though there are a variety of reasons why a person may require CPR, two of the most common reasons are heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest. These two conditions are related, but they are not the same. Unfortunately, if you don’t have a medical background, it is likely that you don’t know the difference between a heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest.
Understanding the difference is important because it can help you respond more effectively during an emergency. It can also help you communicate more accurately over the phone and with medical professionals who arrive on the scene, and this can save precious seconds when they work to revive the victim. Corporate onsite CPR training can be a great way to teach coworkers more about heart attacks and sudden cardiac arrest and give them the tools to respond correctly in these life-or-death situations.
What Is a Heart Attack?
There is a lot of confusion among the general population about what is and isn’t a heart attack. A heart attack is caused when the blood flowing to a section of the heart is reduced or stopped completely due to blockage in an artery. Though heart attacks can be acute and happen suddenly, they are often more gradual. The artery becomes significantly clogged, and the reduced blood flow causes a part of the heart to get weaker and weaker until the symptoms become very severe.
During many heart attacks, the heart continues to beat, but not enough blood is reaching the heart. However, sometimes the person goes into sudden cardiac arrest. Individuals with corporate onsite CPR training may be able to provide CPR and use an AED to help the heart start beating normally.
What Is Sudden Cardiac Arrest?
Sudden cardiac arrest is when a person’s heart suddenly stops beating. There are many different reasons for sudden cardiac arrest, but it typically is related to the electrical signals that control the rhythm of the heart. If a person’s heart begins to beat too quickly, too slowly, or at an irregular rhythm, this can lead to sudden cardiac arrest. Corporate onsite CPR training can help teach employees how to check for a person’s heartbeat and identify if sudden cardiac arrest has occurred.
Though heart attacks and decreased blood flow can affect the ability of the heart to beat at a healthy rhythm, these two conditions are not always related. Sometimes a heart attack is not followed by sudden cardiac arrest, and sometimes sudden cardiac arrest occurs even though the person never had a heart attack.
Whether it’s a heart attack or sudden cardiac arrest, it’s important that the person get medical attention immediately. Coworkers should call 911 as soon as possible. If the person stops breathing or if their heart stops beating, it is very important that someone begins CPR and finds a nearby AED. Corporate onsite CPR training can be crucial in these situations. AEDs are especially important during sudden cardiac arrest, as they can restart the heart and prevent further damage or death.
