This course is a single, integrated curriculum that includes training in adult and pediatric CPR, multiple-rescuer CPR, automated external defibrillation (AED), airway obstruction, heart attack/stroke prevention and emergency treatment, as well as special cardiac–related situations that health care providers deal with as a part of their jobs.

This hands-on course covers medical content defined by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), and promulgated through the publication of the most current “CPR and ECC Guidelines by the American Heart Association.
