What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a vital lifesaving procedure performed when someone’s heart or breathing stops, often due to cardiac arrest, choking, or drowning. CPR combines chest compressions and rescue breaths to keep oxygen flowing through the body until emergency responders arrive. Quick, effective action through CPR can significantly increase survival chances.

During the hands-on portion of our Fresno CPR training, you’ll practice how to:

• Provide CPR for adults, children, and infants
• Properly use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to restore heart rhythm
• Stay calm and take control during stressful emergency situations
