3. OVERVIEW OF COURSE
Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in the United States every year.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a combination of chest compressions and
breathing given to victims that are considered to be in cardiac arrest.
CPR helps to provide critical blood flow, oxygen and delivery of energy nutrients to the
heart and brain, until the person regains consciousness or (EMS) or professional help
arrives .
In this way, immediate CPR plus defibrillation (is an electrical impulse that eliminates
abnormal, rapid heartbeats) (4-6) minutes of collapse, may reduce chances of sudden
cardiac arrest and permanent damage.
This course has been designed to help you acquire the skills you will need to effectively
respond in an emergency situation.
