Students will gain a basic understanding of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and world body airway management as well as basic first aid responder information. The intent of the course is to help students to feel confident of their ability to act appropriately in the event of an emergency. Students will learn to identify ways to prevent injury and/or illness and recognize when an emergency has occurred. Students will be provided with the knowledge and skills necessary in an emergency to help keep someone alive, to reduce pain, and to minimize the consequences of injury or sudden illness until professional medical help arrives. The course includes a fitness component where a variety of physical activities are analyzed as they relate to cardio-vascular issues and overall wellness. Successful completion of the course will result in a Red Cross Certification Card in CPR.
