The American Heart Association's (AHA) Heartsaver CPR/AED course is designed for people with little or no medical training who need certification for their job, for regulatory requirements (such as OSHA), or who simply want to be prepared for an emergency.
What to expect from the course
The Heartsaver CPR/AED course will provide you with the essential skills to respond to a cardiac arrest emergency safely, promptly, and effectively. You are expected to learn:
- High-quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR): You will learn to perform strong and rapid chest compressions (between 100 and 120 per minute) and to give rescue breaths using the mouth-to-mouth technique or with a mask for adults, children and babies (if the optional pediatric modules are included).
- Use of the Automated External Defibrillator (AED): The course teaches how to use an AED safely and effectively in adults, and how to adapt it for children and babies.
- Choking management: You will learn the proper techniques (Heimlich maneuver for adults/children, back blows/chest compressions for infants) to help a choking victim.
- Basic concepts: The course covers the importance of the chain of survival, how to recognize when someone needs CPR, scene assessment, and the use of universal precautions (such as personal protective equipment and handwashing).
- Confidence to act: The goal is for participants to gain the confidence to act in case of an emergency at work, at home or in the community until emergency medical services personnel arrive.
