American CPR for all of our responsible and conscientious technicians to help support and promote National CPR & AED Awareness Week starting June 1, 2011.
In 2008, Congress designated the first week of June for observation of National CPR / AED Awareness Week, with the goal of encouraging all states, cities and towns to establish organized programs which provide CPR and AED training to the public.
Check with your firestation for courses and we are health care professionals, take the health care provider course, it is different mostly with the use of the ambubag (BVM) & a test for your certificate. With an O2 connection adds to brain recovery & you don't have to put your mouth on another persons mouth. BVM is not very expensive (cheap even) so get one for your lab. Should your lab be 10 or more people in 2014 you may be required to have an AED. Might as well get ahead of the curve, and if you are getting a little long in the tooth someone might use it for you.
One other side note the O2 does help get a morning headache gone faster pick up a couple BVM keep one in your drawer (with your name on it) for that personal pick me up.
