We provide CPR AED training in Tucson, Pima County & Southern Arizona. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, known as CPR, combines chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation that helps keep the brain supplied with oxygenated blood. This life-saving technique, when performed properly, can save lives. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), CPR in the US saves about 92,000 people each year.

The sad fact is, over 70 percent of Americans do not know how to administer CPR or their training has lapsed. CPR is a life skill that everyone should know. By receiving your training in CPR and AED through Firehouse CPR and First Aid, you will feel confident with your emergency response skills.

Many people feel they may not need to know CPR because a situation like that may never arise. Life events such as choking, drowning, suffocation, carbon monoxide poisoning, and heart attacks, happen thousands of times daily and having up-to-date emergency response skills, saves lives, and could save the life of someone you know and love.

In some instances, CPR may not be good enough on its own and a machine called the Automated External Defibrillato (AED) is required. The small portable machines, which weigh less than five pounds, delivers a shock that could assist the heart to beat again. Today, more employers are installing AEDs in the work place as a standard part of any first aid practice. That is why in this course, skilled instructors teach the students how to use the AED machine and the simplicity and safety of this life-saving device.

What makes this class stand out from all the others? We are backed with 13 years of experience by firefighters and paramedics who use these life-saving techniques on a daily basis. We are providing American Heart Association CPR training to the people in Tucson Arizona because Tucson deserves the best. So whether your job requires this training or you want to be one of the millions of Americans who want to help save lives, you can begin today by signing up for the course and getting certified.
