I am a Red Cross certified BLS- CPR/AED/ first aid instructor trainer and high quality CPR is critical High quality CPR means using the correct
hand position and correct depth and tempo for compressions.

The manikins that we use for training have lights that indicate the correct depth and tempo to help students understand how to do the compressions correctly

So some referred to Hands Only or Compression Only CPR - no rescue breaths Keep compressions going without stopping until the area is unsafe or some relieves you or EMS arrives

If using rescue breaths The ratio is 30 compressions to 2 rescue breaths

We recently had a class at First Responders rec center
Hi and thank you! I'm interested in eventually getting training classes held in Lake Denham. It's what everyone truly needs but just don't know it. Once I'm full time I can look at getting more involved. There are many unsold houses in my neighborhood and there are most likely interested folks coming that will also feel....not included. Hopefully the "leaders" will figure out that it takes much more than cash and an AED to run the intended program. No disrespect because all efforts are necessary for us
