American Heart Association CPR Anytime

Credit

No formal credit or certificate is awarded.

Description

This 22-minute home course is designed to meet the needs of the general public who do not traditionally attend CPR courses. Currently:

Almost 80 percent of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur at home and are witnessed by a family member
Only 6.4 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims survive because the vast majority of those witnessing the arrest are people who do not know how to perform CPR

CPR Anytime is a tool that can help increase survival rates in communities across the country. People who receive the CPR Anytime kits are able to share lifesaving skills with their loved ones by using the kit to train their entire family. Using a multiplier effect, studies have shown that for every single CPR Anytime kit used for training, an average of 2.5 people learn how to perform CPR.

The American Heart Association's CPR Anytime personal learning programs for families and community members we offer include

Family & Friends CPR Anytime (adult and child CPR)
Infant CPR Anytime

More information on all of these products is available from the American Heart Association CPR Anytime web site.
