BLS CPR & AED Classes with Infant CPR in San Diego

Undergoing CPR training allows you to immediately respond to help someone in crisis. In our CPR classes with infant CPR, you will learn how to —

• Handle an infant properly
• Identify signs of unresponsiveness and choking
• Walk through BLS, CPR, and AED use for the appropriate ages

We hope you are never in the situation to use your CPR training — but our team ensures that you can use BLS, CPR, and AED skills whether you’re seeing to an infant, child, or adult. Typically, infants need CPR because they are in cardiac arrest because of breathing problems.
Here are a few statistical reasons why it’s essential to understand infant CPR:

• 7,000+ children suffer from cardiac arrest each year.
• The most common cause of cardiac arrest in young children is respiratory failure or obstruction in the airway.
• Over 21,000 infants died in 2018, with SIDS and suffocation being the 4th and 5th leading causes.

Other issues that you could provide CPR attention for include the following: smoke inhalation, head trauma, near-drowning, electrical shock, and poisoning.

What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) combines chest compression and rescue breathing techniques, suitable for each age, to revive someone who has experienced cardiac arrest, heart attack, stroke, or drowning. CPR takes necessary blood flow throughout the body, including the brain, to keep the body functioning until further medical assistance.

Note: Only perform CPR on infants who are not breathing independently or are unconscious/unresponsive.
