Heart
Saver CPR and AED Training
|
| The Pleasantview Fire Protection
District offers instruction in CPR (cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation). Knowing how to recognize a potential
life-threatening condition and how to respond can mean
the difference between life and death.
The Heart Saver AED Course that is
taught follows the American Heart Association (AHA)
guidelines for CPR and foreign body airway obstruction
maneuvers for both adults and pediatrics (Infant CPR
also available). Instruction for Heart Saver AED
(Automatic External Defibrillator) is also included.
The class includes video segments that emphasize
hands-on participation, recognition of emergency
situations, and demonstration of proper life-saving
techniques. Participants are eligible for AHA
certification upon completion of the class.

For those in need of a renewal of
their Health Care Provider CPR card, recertification
testing is now available on the American Heart
Association's website at this
link. After completing the online portion of
the recertification, schedule a time at Pleasantview
Station 1 for your skills validation portion (Adult,
Pediatric, and Infant). After completing both
sections, you will be issued an updated card.
There is a small fee for skills assessment and card
renewal which is separate from the online fee.
Call 708-579-2740, ext: 2320 for inquiries.

The American Heart Association
strongly promotes knowledge and proficiency in Basic
Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support
(ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) and
has developed instructional materials for this purpose.
Use of these materials in an educational course does
not represent course sponsorship by the American Heart
Association. Any fees charged for such a course, except
for a portion of fees needed for AHA course material, do
not represent income to the Association.
