BLS CPR & AED Classes with Infant CPR in Philadelphia

Undergoing CPR training gives you the power to react immediately with confidence in an emergency. In your CPR training, you will learn how to handle an infant during a crisis as well as how to identify the signs of unresponsiveness and choking.

Note: Only perform CPR on infants who are not breathing independently or are unconscious/unresponsive. 

Infants (0-12 months) typically need CPR to address breathing issues — or cardiac arrest caused by breathing problems. Here are a few statistics that explain why it’s vital to know infant CPR:

• 7,000+ children suffer from cardiac arrest each year.
• Over 21,000 infants died in 2018, with SIDS and suffocation being the 4th and 5th leading causes.
• The most common cause of cardiac arrest in young children is respiratory failure or obstruction in the airway.
• Other circumstances that would require CPR attention for infants include near-drowning, smoke inhalation, head trauma, electrical shock, and poisoning.

While we hope you never have to use your CPR training, our instructors ensure that you are equipped to confidently use BLS, CPR, and AED skills whether you’re with an infant, child, or adult.

What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation combines rescue breathing and chest compression techniques, suitable for each age, to revive an individual after experiencing cardiac arrest, heart attack, stroke, or drowning. CPR helps the body return oxygen-rich blood flow to vital organs, including the brain. This life-saving act can restore breathing until responders arrive to give further life support.
