Description
First aid is probably the most underrated life skill there is.
In the US, the average time it takes for an ambulance to arrive is about 8 minutes. The average time it takes for a person, from the moment he experienced a cardiac arrest, until the moment he starts to receive permanent brain damage, is about 4-6.
By doing this math, we can safely assume that in the average case, a person is basically guaranteed to not survive.
Is it a surprise then that only around 10% of people who received a cardiac arrest and didn't receive CPR get lucky?
CPR can more than triple the chances our patients have to survive. And it is probably worth learning if we look at how common it is.
While most people are glued to the TV worried about wars and terrorist attacks, cardiovascular diseases are currently killing around half a million Americans each year, and they are considered the number one cause of death in the world. Almost twice as much as cancer, and around 600 times more than those terrorist attacks we keep being so worried about.
And the worst part about all of this? 80% of cardiac arrests happen within our homes, which means that other people are unlikely to assist us in such a time sensitive situation.
Knowing CPR can literally be the thing that saves our loved ones in an emergency like this. And this course isn't just about CPR.
In First Aid & CPR, you will learn:
How to perform traditional CPR (using the latest guidelines)
How to perform Hands Only CPR
How to perform CPR with multiple responders
How to confidently use an AED (automated external defibrillator)
How to perform the Heimlich maneuver
And all of this will be applicable to adults, as well as children and babies!
By taking the time to educate yourself about these life saving practices, you can keep yourself and your family safe from these horrible disasters, you could walk the street confidently, knowing that you could give a hand if you'll encounter such emergencies, and have your own peace of mind knowing that people can depend on you.
I created this course to help widespread the knowledge of the importance of CPR, and I honestly hope that as many people as possible would educate themselves about it.
I made sure to make this course practical. Without boring slideshows, or impossible to remember medical terms, but with a ton of demonstrations and a grounded world view of what is necessary. I also made sure to make it light and fun (with lots of stupid jokes hidden along the way) to make it easy to digest and fun to watch!
Hopefully you will take the chance to join the people who want to take their fate in their own hands, and you will take action to learn CPR in some way or another. If you do choose to learn with me, I'll make sure you get the best learning experience possible!
This is Must have information for everyone, and it is 30 days money back guaranteed if you're not satisfied.
Hopefully I'll see you inside :D

Having served as a combat medic in the army, I understand the value of having someone nearby who is medically trained. First aid knowledge can literally mean the difference between life and death. I never want to be someone watching from the sidelines with no power to help, and I don't want you to be either.
I've taught first aid in many different organizations and schools. Seeing how this information changed lives inspired me to explore how I could help people not just in critical moments, but in every moment. I've decided to focus not only on saving people, but also helping them thrive.
This led me to dive into behavioral science. After years of studying research papers after work hours, becoming a habit coach and seeing how these insights helped my clients change their lives, I knew I had found my second calling.
I do my best to base everything I teach on research. Research is why we know the best ways to save lives in emergencies, and it's how we should approach improving ourselves as well.
All of this brings me to Udemy. My single goal is to help spread knowledge that would make this world a better place. With a focus on high-quality, in-depth, fact-checked, and affordable courses. I want people to look out for each other and learn from a place of caring for the people they love. There's nothing I'm more passionate about than teaching people how to improve themselves and their surroundings.
