It is impossible to tell about coming accidents. But it is possible and good to take preparations to face an accidental situation. Doing a CPR course is almost essential for everyone now-a-day. The term CPR can be elaborated as "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation". It can be defined as a combination of techniques, which can save one's life by resuming normal body activities. When a person faces any accidents or stops heart beating and breathing the first thing he needs is CPR. CPR can make his breathing pattern normal and restarts his heart beating.
So, everyone should know about CPR. CPR courses are available in any hospital zone, community centers and Red Cross centers. This life saving techniques should be learned by everyone and these places are open for anyone to learn the CPR methods.
Actually CPR is a combination of two techniques, as I told before. Those are mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions (if necessary). Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation means the CPR administrating person is making breath for the patient and manually forcing the patient's heart to pump blood until victim's normal body activities resume. Usually CPR is done for giving the victim a primary treatment until the emergency medical team come for taking necessary steps.
Normally CPR training is conducted by licensed instructor. They give instructions and describe steps of CPR to the audience. Some of the course organizers also keep some practical sessions to practice the learned steps on a dummy. At the end of the course the course organizer give a CPR certification card to their audiences. If anyone has a CPR certificate, he is also recommended to get a recertification course every year to keep him updated with the modern techniques of saving life.
For busy people who cannot able to manage time for doing classes, there are many night classes also available to gain this certificate. If night classes is not suitable for anyone than another option is also available. This course is now also can be done over online. It is easy to find a good online first aid course. But keep in mind that all of the online courses are not good. Before attaining into a course everyone should spend some time to find out a good course.
