Why Learn CPR?

Music Can Help Save Lives

  • In one year alone, the American Heart Association says that 475,000 Americans die from a cardiac arrest. 
  • More than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital each year. 
  • Unfortunately, only 46% of people get help before professionals arrive. 
  • Immediate CPR will greatly increase survival. The general rate of survival is 10%. With CPR, it is 45%.
  • Bystanders who administered a shock from an automatic external defibrillator (AED) increased the survival rate to 66%.
  • Severity varies, but victims of a full cardiac arrest have only six minutes to live or die. The brain will die that fast from lack of oxygen. 
  • Due to lack of time, bystanders must act BEFORE help arrives.
  • It is critical to be prepared. Take the training.

  • During CPR, you should push on the chest at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute. 
  • The beat of  Stayin' Alive is a perfect match for this. 
  • Click the song link to see the music video on YouTube. It's an oldie but goodie. 

Why Learn First Aid?

Why Learn First Aid?

  • Safe practices at work, home, and play can prevent many injuries, illnesses, and deaths. 
  • Once injury or sudden illness has occurred, effective first aid can be the difference between a rapid or prolonged recovery, a temporary or permanent disability, and even life or death.   

AT WORK

  • The American Health and Safety Institute (ASHI) says that injuries and illnesses kill about 2.2 million people in the world each year. 
  • On average, 15 workers die each day in the U.S. from traumatic injuries. More than 4 million workers suffer a nonfatal injury or illness each year. 
  • With training, self-help improves at work. 
  • Employers reduce workman's compensation claims.

AT HOME

  • ASHI states that injury is the leading cause of death in the U.S. for individuals younger than 44 years of age. 
  • In the U.S. about 1/3 of all injuries occur at home.
  • In the U.S. about 20% of injury deaths occur at home.
  • For every home injury death, there are about 650 nonfatal home injuries.
