New CPR Guidelines

The American Heart Association has just updated its guidelines for CPR, making the process easier to learn and do, even for those with minimal training. It’s my opinion that anyone with kids, or anyone with childcare responsibilities, should be certified in CPR. If you took a course in preparation for your child’s birth, and your child is no longer an infant, you should consider doing a refresher course to focus on the toddler/child instructions. You can find out more about the CPR guidelines on the American Heart Association Web site, or go to the Red Cross site to find your nearest chapter (most of which offer CPR instruction).
