HOUSTON, TX
Anyone can learn CPR – and everyone should!
Sadly, Each year over 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States. Statistics prove that if more people knew CPR, more lives could be saved. Seventy percent of Americans may feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either do not know how to administer CPR or their training has significantly lapsed.
This alarming statistic could hit close to home because home is exactly where approximately 75 to 80 percent of cardiac arrests occur. Brain death starts to occur four to five minutes after someone experiences cardiac arrest if no CPR and defibrillation occurs during that time. Effective bystander CPR provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest can double or triple a victim’s chance or survival.
The life you save with CPR is most likely to be someone you love.
-
Our classes are designed to make you confident and capable of saving a life in a real emergency situation.
-
Just knowing how to properly perform CPR will make you a more useful member of your community.
-
Brain death occurs within 4-6 minutes after the heart stops beating.
-
Knowing CPR, starting CPR, and calling 911 is the key to helping save lives!
