National organizations released these interim updates to help protect healthcare providers, who remain on the front lines and are frequently exposed to COVID-19. You’ll see these special notes throughout the course.
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is one of the leading causes of death in adults in the U.S. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)—a combination of chest compressions and rescue breaths—can dramatically increase the odds of survival. Early CPR provides oxygen and blood flow to the brain and heart, especially when started within the first three to five minutes after collapse. It can also help reduce the risk of long-term damage.
This course has been designed around the 2024 ECC guidelines to help you build the skills and confidence needed to respond in an emergency.
