Did you know that it takes an average of 7 to 10 minutes before a paramedic, ambulance, or first responder arrives at your door after a 911 call? In those crucial 7 to 10 minutes, someone who's suffered from a cardiac arrest, stroke, or heart attack could lose blood flow to the brain, heart, and vital organs. And did you know it only takes 8 minutes of zero oxygen in the brain to cause brain death? This is why knowing how to perform CPR is key to helping other people survive.
At Rescue Elite, we provide in-person and online virtual CPR training classes, providing expert CPR instruction to anyone who wishes to learn this life-saving skill. We are certified with the AHA or American Heart Association and offer CPR and first aid classes for both healthcare and non-healthcare students.
