Description
This course format replaces the printed version of the AHA’s Family & Friends Facilitator Guide. The AHA’s Family & Friends CPR Course reflects science from the 2015 American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. This update includes additional techniques added to the infant CPR section to include the thumb encircling and heel of one hand methods for compression. Additionally, the sixth link in the chain of survival for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest was added.
