Chapter 1 - Introduction
Throughout this course you will learn the necessary life saving skills of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. CPR is an emergency procedure that keeps blood and oxygen flowing to vital organs when the heart has stopped beating. You will also learn how to recognize an emergency including Heart Attacks, Strokes, and Choking (foreign-body airway obstruction) patients. Approximately 330,000 people die annually from coronary heart disease before reaching an emergency room in North America.
Risk Factors
