I there a place that a 13 year old can get certified in First Aid to include: Basic First Aid (control of bleeding, splints, etc.), CPR, Himleck Manuver, and how to use a Blood Pressure Cuff? I want to because I might get to go to Alaska. P.S. I already have pretty much all supplies necessary for this procedure.
Red Cross, YMCA, scouts, local ambulance or fire department.
what materials, supplies, etc. does one need to be certified in CPR??
CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is an emergency lifesaving procedure that is performed when a person's own breathing or heartbeat have stopped, such as in cases of electric shock, heart attack, or drowning. CPR is a critical part of the ABC's of first response:
* A for airway
* B for breathing
* C for circulation
CPR combines rescue breathing and chest compressions. Rescue breathing provides oxygen to the person's lungs. Chest compressions keep oxygen-rich blood circulating until an effective heartbeat and breathing can be restored.
Permanent brain damage or death can occur within minutes if blood flow stops. Therefore, it is critical that blood flow and breathing be continued until trained medical help arrives.
CPR techniques vary slightly depending on the age or size of the patient.
