CPR & First Aid / AED San Bernardino
The ability to perform CPR, or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, is an invaluable skill in time-sensitive life-threatening situations. Our specialized CPR & First Aid training is designed to prime you for certification, emphasizing the key practices needed to administer aid in cases of respiratory or cardiac emergencies.
Every individual stands to benefit from knowing CPR, as emergencies requiring such intervention can occur in various environments. In scenarios where medical support is not instantly accessible, a bystander with CPR training can make a critical difference by preventing enduring cerebral damage or fatality.
Many individuals who suffer from cardiopulmonary or respiratory incidents lose their lives because bystanders, lacking CPR training, hesitate or fear intervening. In these situations, any action is better than none. Enroll in the CPR and First Aid training course at LA Skills Academy, San Bernardino to learn the fundamental techniques necessary for critical interventions, potentially making a life-or-death difference.
