Why Would Key CPR Offer Free CPR Classes?
At Key CPR, we believe that everyone should have access to learn lifesaving CPR skills. Some people do not have the time or money to take a full CPR Certification course. For those people, Key CPR’s FREE Hands-Only CPR Class can be a great way to prepare for a Cardiac Emergency situation. To make sure these classes are available to everyone in our community we are providing monthly training free of cost to anyone who would like to participate. We are committed to working with our community to make it a safer place to live, work, and play.
Why Hands-Only CPR?
Hands-Only CPR is all about accessibility. The Hands-Only class has been designed so that time and money are not barriers to getting trained to save lives. In fact, it only has 2 steps:
1) Check and Call: Check the person for responsiveness/breathing and Call 9-1-1 immediately if are not responsive or breathing.
2) Perform Hands-Only Chest compressions
Why is Hands-Only CPR so Important?
According to the AHA, about 70% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in the home, which means if you need to perform Hands-Only CPR you very likely could be using it to save the life of a friend or family member. Even if you are trained in full CPR (chest compressions + rescue breaths) you may find yourself in a situation where you are unable to perform full CPR. Hands-only CPR is a technique that can be used to perform CPR on a person who otherwise might not get care.
Hands-Only CPR vs Full CPR?
Full CPR (chest compressions + rescue breaths) is still the top level of care. Key CPR does provide training and certification on Full CPR in our Adult and Pediatric CPR/AED course. Full CPR has been shown to drive higher survival rates in children and infants compared to Hands-Only CPR. Hands-Only CPR is very effective on adults and can be used to provide care if you are unable to perform rescue breaths or if you are not trained in Full CPR. Hands-Only CPR gives someone a much higher chance of surviving a sudden cardiac arrest than if they received no care at all.
