CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is an emergency procedure that combines chest compressions, artificial respiration, and defibrillation (in some cases) to preserve intact brain function until further measures can be taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest.

Learning CPR can help you save the life of someone who is in cardiac arrest. It can also help you feel more confident in emergency situations, and it is a valuable skill to have in both personal and professional settings.

CPR certification is typically valid for two years. After that, you will need to take a renewal course to maintain your certification.
