| This course covers the basic knowledge and skills for the performance of CPR. Various course options may include infant CPR, child CPR, adult CPR, and/or the management of foreign body airway obstruction (NC Community Colleges, 2024). |
The CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers (CPR) program trains professional-level rescuers to respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies in adults, children and infants until more advanced medical personnel take over. This course has been recently updated to current International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) guidelines, including the American Red Cross Aquatic Guidelines and Best Practices. The Aquatic Guidelines and Best Practices are based on the results of scientific evidence evaluations and guideline reviews overseen by the American Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council. The term professional rescuer refers to those with a duty to act. These professions range from healthcare to public safety to athletic training and recreation, including lifeguards. Through these courses we’re able to keep you up to date on the latest techniques, so you can maintain certifications and deliver the best possible care in an emergency (ARC, 2024).
