Last week I took an awesome certification class at the local community college called Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). Along with it I renewed my Basic Life Support (BLS) CPR and AED. These classes included the very most important elements when facing an emergency. I think it is very crucial that everyone know some of these basic steps as anyone could be the first to walk upon an unconscious person in the grocery store etc or experience a child/infant choking. It is important to be prepared and know your ABC's (airway,breathing, circulation) until more advanced help comes along.
*Below is a video link to some teaching videos and a link to the American Heart Association's website that will go over the basics.
