Clarkson
College offers approved American Heart Association Basic Life Support classes
for health care providers (CPR). This course teaches you how to recognize and
respond to life-threatening emergencies such as heart attack, cardiac arrest,
respiratory arrest and foreign-body airway obstruction (choking). You will also
learn to recognize heart attack and stroke in adults, and breathing
difficulties in children. You will learn the skills of CPR for victims of all
ages, including ventilation with barrier devices, use of an automated external
defibrillator (AED), and relief of foreign-body airway obstruction. These
skills will enable you to recognize emergencies and provide the first three
links to either the AHA Adult Chain of Survival or the Pediatric Chain of
Survival. With these skills, you will be prepared to save the life of a
co-worker, member of your community or a loved one.
