Recertified for CPR and AED

A few hours well spent. I took the American Heart Association training course for CPR and AED. The instructor was great about having us practice a lot. It really did become second nature - Start by assessing the scene, ask if person is okay, if not send someone to call 911 and another to find an AED. Start compressions - 30 compressions, 2 breaths, 5 times. Ask if anyone else is certified CPR. Switch off until AED arrives. Here are pictures of our dummies we worked on. We had three different sizes - adult, child and infant. I passed and got my certificate. Good for another 2 years. T got his certification through the volunteer police organization.
