Nashua, NH – Every parent, caretaker and
friend should know how and when to administer CPR. When performed correctly,
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can save a person’s life by restoring
breathing and circulation until advanced life support can be given by a medical
care provider. CPR is a combination of rescue breathing (mouth-to-mouth) and
chest compressions. CPR may be necessary for a person during many different
emergencies, including accidents, near-drowning, suffocation, poisoning, smoke inhalation, among others.
St. Joseph Hospital offers CPR: Family and
Friends which teaches CPR for infants, children and adults. The course runs two
and a half hours and is being held on Sunday, September 22 or November 10, from
12:00 noon to 2:30
pm.
