CPR Classes


Importance of CPR

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), more than 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States. Approximately 70% of out of hospital cardiac arrests happen in homes. Although we have some of the fastest response times in Allegheny County, we know, that if we are not already next to the patient when a cardiac arrest happens, we are not fast enough. That is why we rely on bystanders and family members to do CPR until our crews can arrive to help your loved one. According to the AHA, CPR, especially if performed immediately before EMS arrives, can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival.

CPR Classes

Because NorthWest EMS understands the importance of CPR, we teach multiple levels of CPR. The first is HeartSaver CPR and AED. This class is appropriate for anyone who wants to be familiar with CPR and AED usage. This class is great for babysitters, students, teachers, parents and any member of the community who would like to know how to do CPR. Secondly, we offer Heartsaver CPR/AED/First Aid classes for those who wish to learn some additional medical knowledge and provide general first aid as well as CPR and AED usage. Lastly, we also offer a BLS CPR Class for Health Care Providers. This class is appropriate for any healthcare provider who needs this certification.

If you are interested in any of these classes, please contact Ben Campbell at bcampbell@northwestems.net
