Home CPR Parties
If a child in your care stopped breathing or is choking would you know what to do? It could be the difference between life and death.
A child who has stopped breathing will have irreversible brain damage within 4 to 6 minutes and will die within 8 to 10 minutes. The average Ambulance response time within city limits is 10 to 12 minutes.
A growing trend is in-home CPR Parties. These parties enable small groups of 6 to 8 friends and/or family members to learn life-saving skills in the convenience of your home. Step-by-step instructions are explained in easy to understand demonstrations based on American Heart Association guidelines.
Intended Audiences: Parents, Grandparents, and Caregivers.
