What Is CPR and Why Should I Learn It?

It's The Difference Between Life and Death.

With a half-million cardiac arrests each year, CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) can help save a life if a person's breathing or heart stops. It's not just for healthcare workers and emergency responders. In fact, CPR can double or triple the chance of survival when bystanders take action. The American Red Cross helps train you safely, effectively and confidently, so you're prepared for the minutes that matter the most.

What is the difference between BLS and CPR AED?

Both CPR and BLS training typically require keeping the victim's airway open, promoting blood circulation without using mechanical aid, among other crucial rescue approaches. The main difference between BLS and CPR is that BLS also includes lifesaving techniques that are necessary for a medical or hospital setting.
