Description
Luckily, the vast majority of incidents a prepared citizen encounters are of a medical nature rather than violent attack. Slips and falls, scraped knees, choking, heart attacks, strokes, broken bones, anaphylactic shock, and other illnesses and injuries occur on a daily basis across the country. This Colorado CPR training course will train you to act as a true “first responder,” providing basic life support and care until emergency services arrive. Includes American Heart Association CPR/AED/First Aid certification, as well as training in current practices in common medical incidents you may encounter.
