Do you think you should learn how to perform CPR? Should a bystander that has no medical background learn CPR? Would you believe that many have died because only 46% of bystanders are willing to perform CPR? And spending time finding someone who knows how to perform CPR reduces the window of it being useful.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation or CPR is no longer a skill reserved for healthcare professionals. We encouraged bystanders to learn CPR. The American Heart Association says it increases the survival rate threefold. Knowing the basics of CPR is now essential for laypeople.
However, different certification types are suited for medical practitioners and emergency responders. The list of recommended certifications for medical practitioners and emergency responders includes basic life support, advanced cardiac life support, pediatric advanced life support, and heartsaver first aid certification.
Choose which of the following certifications are most suited for you.
