Why attend an Infant CPR Class ?
More than 20 000 infants and children have a cardiac arrest per year in the United States. Accidents happen quickly in the age group 0-4. Common pediatric accidents include choking, drowning, and falling.
Choking is a significant cause of death due to unintentional injuries in young children, and some studies have stated that around 60-80% of deaths due to choking are related to food . Choking is one of the important modes of death in young children who are dying from unintentional injuries.
Learning Infant CPR is easy and can save a life. Keeping your infant safe at home, at the park, in your car, and in and around the water is a priority.
Yet pediatric accidents happen frequently and an emergency may occur. As a parent or caregiver, you need to be prepared, ready and know what to do.
It is recommended to take the class during pregnancy or soon after your infant is born. It is better to be ready than sorry.
