Hands-only CPR, which is also known as compression-only CPR, performed by a bystander has been shown to be as effective as CPR with mouth to mouth breaths. Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in the United States. Approximately 89 percent of people who suffer an out-of hospital cardiac arrest die because they don’t receive immediate CPR. Come to this CPR training class to get the information and skills you need to help others during breathing and cardiac emergencies. For ages 12 and older. Class size is limited so call 808-453-6566 to reserve a spot. Taught by certified American Red Cross trainers. Hopefully, you’ll never have to use Hands-Only CPR, but in the event of an emergency, your preparedness could save a life.
