What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique used when breathing or the heartbeat stops—commonly caused by cardiac arrest, choking, or drowning. CPR combines chest compressions with rescue breaths to maintain oxygen flow until professional help arrives. Immediate action can significantly improve survival rates.

In our Fort Lauderdale CPR training, you’ll practice:

• Performing CPR on adults, children, and infants
• Using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) safely and effectively
• Responding calmly and effectively during emergencies
