Do you have a CPR card? (good skill for all to know)
Is your CPR card up to date? (renew every 2 years)
Do you want a CPR card? (you're in luck)
Do you even know what CPR is? (read on)
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a combination of rescue breathing and chest compressions delivered to victims thought to be in cardiac arrest. When cardiac arrest occurs, the heart stops pumping blood. CPR can support a small amount of blood flow to the heart and brain to "buy time" until normal heart function is restored.
Even if you've been taught CPR, you must keep in mind that the protocols have changed in the last few years. Some of you need it for work, some of you need it because of family, and others may need it for peace of mind- to have the knowledge just in case. What ever your reason, there is a chance for you to learn/re-learn this valuable skill. You can sign up at King CrossFit for the Adult/Child/Infant CPR class which will be held on Sunday, November 7 from 9am to 1pm at King CrossFit. The cost (for King CrossFit members and their family) is $30. You do not need to have taken a CPR class prior. There are no age restrictions to taking the class. You will receive a combination of expert instruction and hands-on skills building... and at the end of the session you will receive your very own CPR card. Other topics discussed will be foreign body obstructions (choking) and AED (Automated External Defibrillator). Spots have been filling... sign up ASAP!
