What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a vital emergency technique used when someone’s breathing or heartbeat stops due to cardiac arrest, drowning, or choking. By performing chest compressions and rescue breaths, CPR helps keep oxygen circulating until medical personnel take over. Acting quickly with CPR can significantly increase a person’s chance of survival.

During our Boston CPR training, you’ll receive hands-on instruction on how to:

• Perform CPR on adults, children, and infants
• Use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) safely and effectively
• Remain calm and perform under pressure during real emergencies
