CPR
COURSES 2012
New Course Guidelines and Formats are
now in effect which have changed the way we deliver life support in Canada.
Overall, the objective of the changes is to
improve the effectiveness of CPR. The Courses are now focused on the
delivery of skills and participants will perform the skills throughout the
course, while following along with a DVD. There is an increased emphasis
on Compressions as research has shown fewer interruptions to compressions
results in increased perfusion (blood flow).
Basic Life Support Guideline Update 2012
The Heartsaver level has been replaced with
the Heartsaver AED course as the entry level of certification. All
participants are required to purchase an updated manual for their first renewal.
Thereafter, a manual need not be purchased until the next guideline change
(usually every 5 years).
I continue to be available to conduct
courses for groups and individuals at my residence High Rigg Retreat, which is
located SW of Edmonton beside Blackhawk Golf Course. Alternatively, I can
travel to your office, facility, or space and conduct the course for your group.
Course Descriptions
Heartsaver
(AED)
In this course, you will learn how to
deliver CPR to adults and children (infant is optional). You will learn
how to operate an AED, and how to help someone who is choking.
During the course you will spend time
practicing and demonstrating these skills, as well as complete a simple open
book multiple choice quiz.
This is now the basic CPR course required
for most fitness professionals.
Health Care
Provider (HCP)
The new basic life support course for Health
Care Providers will provide the knowledge and skills to enable you to save a
life. You will learn the skills of CPR and the use of AED. You will
practice CPR in a team setting. The skills you learn in this course will
enable you to recognize emergencies such as sudden cardiac arrest, and to know
how to respond to them.
Successful completion of a multiple choice
test is required to obtain certification.
