CPR or cardiopulmonary rescusciation is one link in  the chain of survival when someone goes into cardiac arrest.  The human brain begins to die after 4-6 minutes without oxygen.  CPR helps oxygenated blood to circulate within the body, keeping oxygen flowing to the heart and brain.

Currently, only 15% of all cardiac arrest patients in Mecklenburg County received bystander cpr.  Many times, we find that family members hesitate or even refuse to perform cpr.  This is the single most effective way you can help give someone the best chance of survival.  CPR standards have changed and no longer require "mouth-to-mouth".  This simple class could allow you to help save someone's life--perhaps even that of someone you love.

Classes are offered several times each month at Medics' Headquarters, 4525 Statesville Rd, Charlotte.  We currently offer the American Heart Association Heartsaver Course.  This course is a low-stress opportunity to learn cpr for adults, children, and infants.  NOTE:  This is a certification class but may not satisfy job requirements for healthcare or childcare professionals.  Please email ericm@medic911.com if you are interested in a certification class.  These are offered on a limited basis.  The class registration fee is $15 with early registration.  Fees do go up as the date approaches, so register early.  For those who want to register at the class, email ericm@medic911.com for information.   Click on the links below for class information and online registration through ActiveZach.com.
