Heartsaver First Aid with CPR / AED at Newburgh

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a life-saving skill and a crucial component in the chain of survival for individuals in cardiac arrest. CPR provides life sustaining oxygen to the brain and vital organs which can be irreversible damaged within minutes. An individual’s ability to recognize the signs and initiate CPR while awaiting the arrival of EMS could not only be the difference between life and death but the quality of that life saved.

The first aid segment will teach participants to recognize the onset of stroke, control bleeding, administration of naloxone, when an opioid overdose is suspected, and epinephrine for an individual suffering an extreme allergic reaction.

The Orange County Heartsaver First Aid and CPR program is free only to individual who live or work in Orange County. Please join us to learn these critical lifesaving skills.
