Do You Know?

Chest compression-only CPR is very attractive because it is easier to teach than conventional CPR and is still beneficial to the victim. Courses teaching this can be taken on-line. However, instructor-led courses will often also include training on the delivery of airway and breathing maneuvers which may be very important for the victim in some cases. Instructor-led courses also usually provide feedback devices such as the use of a life-like “doll” which can improve acquiring and retaining the proper skills. Skills for performing CPR deteriorate in as little as 3 to 6 months, therefore refresher training is strongly recommended. Though an optimal interval for refresher training has not been established, it is recommended that training intervals of 12 to 24 months are not adequate. Refresher courses may be needed as often as every 6 months to keep skills sharp. (Visit The American Red Cross Here To Learn More)
