Untrained<\/strong><\/p>\n Though it is always best to know what you are doing and how to do it well, there are ways you\u00a0can help until medical crews arrive and there is no one else available that has CPR training.\u00a0Hands-only CPR is better than nothing, and this means doing chest compressions uninterrupted\u00a0until the paramedics arrive. However, rescue breathing isn\u2019t part of the untrained CPR approach.\u00a0It is important to understand that hands-only options aren\u2019t as good as regular cardiopulmonary\u00a0resuscitation, but again, it is better than nothing.\u00a0If you are interested in taking classes in NJ or anywhere else, it is fairly easy to do. There are\u00a0many classes available to you and they take between four and eight hours to complete. You will\u00a0be certified to do CPR for two years and then must renew your license. A few hours of study to\u00a0save lives seems very worth your effort.<\/p>\n Trained Options<\/strong><\/p>\n CPR comes in different forms for different people. The general public won\u2019t get the same\u00a0training as paramedics and other emergency personnel, such as nurses or doctors. Regular\u00a0people will usually receive CPR AED training, which may also include first aid. This is the most\u00a0basic CPR information available and will allow you to help those who have stopped breathing.\u00a0These classes generally provide training for adults, kids and infants, though there is usually a\u00a0pediatric CPR option if you are a babysitter and tend to be around children more than adults.\u00a0BLS (Basic Life Support) CPR is meant for healthcare professionals, such as EMTs, dental and\u00a0medical assistants, along with doctors and nurses. This is generally meant to be in a hospital or\u00a0in an EMT van where special oxygen squeeze masks and bags are used.\u00a0Because it doesn\u2019t take much to become trained, it is recommended for anyone to take and pass\u00a0the CPR course. It can be beneficial for parents, those caring for older adults, personal trainers,\u00a0babysitters, along with almost anyone else.<\/p>\n Whether you have training or not, it is always better to try and save someone than to do\u00a0nothing.
