\u00a0CPR Saves Lives<\/strong><\/p>\n Cardiac arrest occurs in more than 300,000 individuals in the US each year. Cardiac arrest occurs when a problem causes the heart to fail. When an individual\u2019s heart stops, this means that it stops pumping blood and oxygen throughout the body. The longer an individual goes without circulation, the lower their chances of survival are. When a bystander\/family member is able to perform CPR on someone who has gone into cardiac arrest, they are able to keep the person\u2019s blood circulating until an ambulance arrives and medical professionals<\/a> take over. It has been shown that an individual\u2019s chances of survival more than double when CPR is started before medical professionals arrive.<\/p>\n \u00a0CPR is Easy to Learn<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Many people who have not taken CPR courses claim that they have not done so because they fear that it is difficult, or that they will not be able to do it properly. The fact is, however, that non-medical civilians are now increasingly being taught to give hands-only CPR<\/a> without the use of rescue breaths. This makes learning CPR extremely simple, and with the aid of an experienced instructor, can be done in a few short hours.<\/p>\n \u00a0Most Cardiac Arrests<\/a> Occur at Home<\/strong><\/p>\n It is estimated that more than 80% of cardiac arrests occur within the home. This means that each individual in a household knowing CPR is not just recommended, but could be vital in an emergency situation. Knowing CPR can assure that your loved ones get the proper attention they need before help arrives, which can greatly improve their chances of survival.<\/p>\n Taking a CPR training course could mean the difference between life and death for someone you love.\u00a0Contact us<\/a>\u00a0to find out more about why you should consider taking a CPR training course as well as to schedule a training session.<\/p>\n CPR courses in NJ\u00a0can save countless lives; however, the fact is that not enough bystanders and\/or family members are trained in, and able to perform, CPR when a crisis occurs. …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3798,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56,149,58,60],"tags":[83,90,76,55,163,91,164],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3782"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3782"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3782\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4936,"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3782\/revisions\/4936"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oceansidecpr.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Related articles<\/h6>\n
