Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training is a key skill to use on individuals who have stopped breathing or are experiencing cardiac arrest. It involves regular chest compressions and rescue breaths. At Brooks CPR, registered nurses offer individuals CPR certification upon the successful completion of our training. Here are a few different types of CPR training courses:
1. Business or Group Training
A business or group CPR course trains individuals to enhance workplace safety. While medical professionals are trained in CPR practices, organizations outside of the healthcare industry can also use these skills. Employees participating in our courses gain the abilities and knowledge to handle medical emergencies efficiently. Flight attendants, childcare workers, lifeguards, and personal trainers, among others, can benefit from a group training course. Individuals from various business backgrounds can be exposed to emergency situations, and having the skills to perform CPR may help them save lives.
2. Baby Shower CPR Training
Baby showers provide an easy opportunity for large groups of people to get CPR training. The Brooks CPR baby shower training helps individuals learn how to provide life-saving care to infants. This hands-on CPR training is ideal for parents, babysitters, and extended family members. CPR training for infants involves techniques different from those used for adults. It allows individuals to become more comfortable during emergencies when infants stop breathing or choke on small objects. When performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on infants, the hand placement, compression depth, and compression strength require extra care to avoid making conditions worse. The team at Brooks CPR makes sure that each group member feels confident in responding quickly during an emergency before completing the training.
3. Family and Friends Training
Family and friends CPR training focuses on teaching smaller, more intimate groups of people. Because the groups are smaller, instructors can offer more comprehensive training to individuals. This type of group training covers hands-only CPR for adults, along with adult and child CPR with breaths. Instructors also provide training for automated external defibrillator (AED) devices, which help with treating individuals experiencing cardiac arrest.
4. In-home Infant and Child Training
In-home infant and child training allows individuals to learn CPR in a comfortable environment. The training is structured so that individuals obtain basic CPR and AED skills and learn the choking treatment steps for infants and children. Parents and older children can participate in these courses to develop the skills necessary to help their babies or young siblings during emergency situations.
5. In-home Adult, Infant, and Child Training
Our comprehensive in-home course is similar to an in-home infant and child training, but it includes information on CPR certification for adults. It is a beneficial class for families who live with young children and elderly individuals with health concerns. During an emergency with children or adults, trained individuals can apply CPR techniques until the first responders arrive.
