Learn CPR for free over Valentine’s weekend

February 8th, 2010, 2:22 pm by Mandy Zajac

chest-compressionsScottsdale Fire Department will host free classes over Valentine’s Day weekend to teach people how to perform the new hands-only method of CPR and use an Automated External Defibrillator, or AED.

The procedures do not require mouth-to-mouth contact and can dramatically improve the chance of survival for a person suffering from cardiac arrest. A bystander or loved one who takes immediate action until paramedics arrive can often make the difference in life or death.

SFD’s 90-minute presentations will teach the step-by-step actions to the general public at no charge. No CPR certification cards will be issued at these presentations. Advance registration is strongly recommended, but walk-ins will be accepted. To sign up, visit www.scottsdaleaz.gov/fire/HandsOnlyCPR or call (480) 312-8000.
