AED’s, what are they?

An automated external defibrillator or AED is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient, and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm. With simple audio and visual commands, AEDs are designed to be simple to use.

Do you have a swimming pool?

Are your family members and guests at risk of cardiac arrest? Do you have assigned lifeguards? Whereas we all hope that no-one will slip and fall or drown, it is the course of wisdom to be trained yourself and or have assigned individuals prepared to save lives. In an ever increasingly litigious society, having individuals trained to sustain lives is an absolute necessity.

What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure used to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person in cardiac arrest. CPR involves chest compressions at least 5 cm deep and at a rate of 100-120 beats per minute in order to create artificial circulation by manually pumping the heart, pushing blood to the lungs and brain. In addition, the rescuer may provide breaths by either exhaling into the subject's mouth or utilizing a device that pushes air into the subject's lungs. Although CPR alone is unlikely to restart the heart; its main purpose is to restore partial flow of oxygenated blood to the brain and heart. The objective is to delay tissue death and to sustain the brief window of opportunity for a successful resuscitation without permanent brain damage.

Why be CPR certified in-person versus online?

Even though you may be certified by an online CPR organization and have taken the written test, you will still need your skill set to be evaluated by an instructor in person.  Train 2 Sustain, LLC offers thorough in-person instruction even for small classes and on short notice.  We adhere to current American Heart Association guidelines and provide complete certification cards valid for two years.
