CPR / AED

CPR: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (Hands Only)

Hands Only CPR is a process in which chest compressions are delivered to victims who are unconscious and not breathing.

AED: Automated External Defibrillation

Defibrillation is a process in which an electronic device gives an electric shock to the heart. This helps reestablish normal contraction rhythms in a heart having dangerous arrhythmia or in cardiac arrest. AED training is the last hour of the CPR class. Training includes hands-on practice with campus AED unit in “trainer mode”.

CPR / AED Challenge Class

If you have taken a CPR and/or AED course and would like to take the exam for renewal and recertification, attend this 2 hour practice skills class. At the end of the class participants demonstrate skills and take the exam to renew certifications. Challenge participants must present proof of previous certification.
