Would you know how to respond if your child stopped breathing?
by Carlette Anderson of
www.cprpros.com
 

As parents we want the very best for our children yet when it comes to knowing what to do, if our child stopped breathing, we panic and call 911.  Every year we hear about children who have drown in the family pool and no one knew how to perform CPR. The paramedics race to the scene to get there as quickly as possible, but unless someone is right there to start CPR, the chances of the child’s survival diminish. If CPR is administered within two minutes of the accident, the child has a good chance of making it with no brain damage, after four minutes the child can have severe brain damage and after six minutes the chance of survival is slim. The average response time for 911 is ten minutes, in most major cities, and in rural areas it is much longer. Most parents would like to know how to perform CPR but with their busy schedules it is difficult to find the time to attend a class. Especially, when the classes are usually eight hours in length. Sometimes these classes are even broken up into two, four hour classes, so that means you have to find a babysitter for two different days. 

There is a better way and an easier way to learn CPR. Now you can get certified in CPR at your time and convenience, in the comfort of your own home. Just go to www.cprpros.com. It covers child, infant, adult, two person CPR, choking, drowning and special situations. It includes simple language with interactive animations, graphics and illustrations. You have two weeks to complete the course and after you take the exam you can print out your personalized certification card. It is so simple even young children can learn CPR online. Another benefit for taking the course online is that you can give your user name and password to your family members, babysitters and friends. They can all learn how to perform CPR free, thanks to you.

The one question that comes up is, “How can you learn CPR without hands on?” The answer is, “Everything we learn in life is in our mind.” You become the rescuer in the animation and you learn by watching the animations. We are all built the same way so you use your own neck to find where the pulse is located and you use your own sternum to find out where to compress on the heart. You can also locate the pulse and correct place to do compressions on your children, much better than a rubber manikin. Your interaction with the program helps you to really learn CPR because when a situation happens that video will pop into your mind and you will know exactly what to do. So, no more excuses for not learning CPR because now CPR is just a click away at www.cprpros.com.
