Our American Red Cross Adult CPR/AED course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to respond effectively to cardiac emergencies involving adults. This comprehensive program covers adult CPR techniques and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), providing participants with the confidence and competence to provide life-saving interventions in the event of sudden cardiac arrest. Through interactive instruction, hands-on practice, and scenario-based learning, participants will gain the skills needed to recognize, respond to, and manage cardiac emergencies in adults.

Course Highlights:

• Adult CPR Techniques: Learn adult CPR techniques, including chest compressions, rescue breaths, and the proper compression-to-ventilation ratio, to maintain circulation and oxygenation during cardiac emergencies.

• Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Use: Understand how to operate an automated external defibrillator (AED) safely and effectively for adults, including pad placement, device operation, and delivering a shock when indicated for sudden cardiac arrest.

• Recognition of Cardiac Arrest: Develop proficiency in recognizing signs of cardiac arrest in adults, including unresponsiveness, absence of breathing or abnormal breathing, and the absence of a pulse.

• Hands-On Practice: Engage in practical, hands-on skills practice sessions using adult manikins and AED training devices to reinforce adult CPR and AED techniques and build confidence in responding to real-life emergencies.

• Scenario-Based Learning: Participate in scenario-based learning activities and simulations to apply knowledge and skills learned in the course to realistic emergency situations involving adults, enhancing decision-making and critical thinking abilities.

Target Audience:

• Workplace first responders
• Healthcare professionals
• Fitness instructors
