OLLI: CPR and AED Basics

Everyone knows that Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure performed in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing  in a person in cardiac arrest. But if you witnessed an accident or saw someone collapse, would you know what to do? Learn how to respond to basic health emergencies such as choking, cardiac emergencies and bleeding. Participants will perform hands-on skills in CPR for adults, children and infants, as well as learn how to operate Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
