Basic Life Support Courses

The Adult CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) for Family and Friends Course targets all lay rescuers, such as family members of patients at risk for sudden cardiac death and other laypersons who want to learn rescue skills for loved ones.  The Course teaches rescuers skills in CPR and relief of foreign-body airway obstruction.  It presents information about the adult Chain of Survival and signs of heart attack, cardiac arrest, stroke and choking in adults. The text includes information about healthy heart living and actions to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease in adults.  The course also presents information about the pediatric infant and child chain of Survival, signs of choking in infants and children, prevention of sudden infant death syndrome, and prevention of the most common fatal injuries in infants and children.
