Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique that everyone should know. Being able to perform CPR can mean the difference between life and death for someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. Unfortunately, statistics show that less than half of Canadians have up-to-date CPR training. This article will provide an overview of CPR Training Winnipeg and discuss why it’s so important for more people to develop this critical skill.
What is CPR and Why is it Important?
CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is an emergency procedure performed when someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped. CPR involves chest compressions to manually pump blood through the body and rescue breaths to provide oxygen. Timely CPR can double or even triple chances of survival after cardiac arrest. The first few minutes are the most critical. Even basic CPR skills used immediately after cardiac arrest can be lifesaving before emergency responders arrive.
