Can Children Perform CPR?

Who says children can’t save lives?

Children as young as 9 years old can learn and retain the information. They just often won’t have the strength to compress the chest properly until their teen years.

The American Heart Association doesn’t mandate a minimum age requirement to learn CPR. The ability to perform CPR is based more on body strength than age.

Our Friends & Family class is a perfect class for your child to attend. This course teaches the life saving skills of Adult/Child/Infant CPR, how to relieve mild and severe airway block and AED use.

By introducing the topic of CPR early you are equipping your child with a life-saving skill that they can carry with them forever.
