Welcome

I started YOU CAN DO IT CPR because I believe that everyone should learn how to perform life-saving cardiopulmonary resuscitation through education and training that is easily accessible, up to date and follows the American Heart Association standards and guidelines.

Also known as CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a life-saving technique that consists of chest compressions most often combined with ventilation, whether it be artificial or by mouth, in an effort to preserve brain function until spontaneous blood circulation and breathing returns in a person suffering from a cardiac arrest. Compressions keep the blood flowing while providing oxygen to the brain and other vital organs.

Being prepared to provide CPR in an emergency situation should be important to us all. Survival of the victim suffering a cardiac arrest depends on you immediately starting CPR. What if that victim was a loved one, a friend, an acquaintance, even a stranger, wouldn’t you want to know what to do to help save their life?
