What to Do If You Think Someone Is Choking

November 13, 2021EMC CPR & Safety Training

Choking is when an object lodges in the throat or windpipe, either obstructing or blocking the flow of air. Most choking incidents in adults occur because of food. They either take too large a bite, or they don’t chew their food correctly. This causes the food to get lodged somewhere on the way down. Choking…

Thanksgiving CPR Safety People are looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with their extended families in 2021 even more than usual.

October 4, 2021AED, AED LawsEMC CPR & Safety Training
What Is an AED Machine? An AED, or automated external defibrillator, offers life saving help to people experiencing cardiac arrest.

Onsite CPR/AED and First Aid Training for School Teachers and Administrators

October 4, 2021AED, CPR, First AidEMC CPR & Safety Training
The Value of Teaching CPR/AED and First Aid to Teachers For many parents, the idea of having a school nurse is enough to address any potential medical issues.

COVID-19 and Life-Threatening Cardiac Events

It’s exciting that we’re on our way to large-scale immunizations and a return to public life.

Do I Need to be Certified to Administer CPR?

March 1, 2021compression-only CPR, CPR Certification, Good Samaritan Law, sudden cardiac arrestEMC CPR & Safety Training

Often, people assume that laypeople aren’t allowed to perform tasks for which a certification exists. In a way, it makes sense: After all, you don’t want just anybody flying planes around or lawyers engaging in surgery. But in some matters, doing something beats doing nothing.  CPR is one of those.  Is CPR certification important?  Of…

October 7, 2020EMC CPR & Safety Training

Television dramas paint a pretty rosy picture of survival rates after cardiac arrest. Studies show that laypeople in the US expect as high as 75% of people to survive after their hearts stop if they receive CPR. Unfortunately, survival rates range between 2 and 11% when cardiac arrest occurs outside the hospital.
