You do not need to be a doctor, nurse, dentist, or healthcare professional to take a CPR class. In fact, cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest, both life-threatening conditions, happen frequently outside of healthcare facilities. Members of the St. Louis community can play a big part in the American Heart Association’s Chain of Survival.
Early recognition of signs and symptoms and the activation of emergency response personnel can make the difference between a positive or poor outcome for a victim who suffers from cardiac or respiratory arrest. Knowing exactly what to do when you find someone unresponsive or if someone becomes unresponsive in your company could save their life.
What if you are a teacher and one of your students suddenly collapses? What if you are attending a birthday party for your grandmother and one of the guests begins choking? What if one of your co-workers begins complaining of chest pain and then passes out? Aren’t all of these situations realistic? Our brains need oxygen. During cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest, brains are deprived of the oxygen they need. For every second and minute passed that the brain is not perfused with highly oxygenated blood brain damage can ensue.
