What is CPR?
CPR stands for Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation. It is a procedure used to revive or resuscitate a person in cardiac or respiratory arrest.

What is a Community CPR Program?
Community CPR programs are organized to train as many persons as possible within a community in CPR. The higher the percentage of the population trained in CPR, the lower the death rate from heart attack.

Who Can Perform CPR?
Anyone. The procedure is easy to learn and simple to perform.

Who Needs CPR?
An unconscious person who is not breathing and has no pulse needs CPR. A person who is not breathing but has a pulse needs rescue breathing.

Why Should I Learn CPR?
Because you can make a difference! Cardiac arrest may be caused by a variety of diseases, illnesses, and injuries. Statistics show that 61% of those individuals who suffer cardiac arrest are revived if CPR is begun within the first minute following arrest. If you are present at the scene of a heart attack, accident, or drowning and know CPR, you can save a life.

The Elkton Emergency Squad, as a community training site for the AHA (American Heart Association), will work with you to enroll you in a CPR class or to set up a class for your neighborhood, club, church, office, or school group. Anyone over the age of 12 can participate in a CPR class.
