Waunakee Area EMS offers a variety of CPR classes from the American Heart Association. Our classes are taught by certain EMTs on our staff that have the certification to teach CPR. We teach both those who are learning CPR for the first time, as well as those looking to renew their skills or certification. We are more than happy to teach individuals, and small and large groups. The classes that we offer are listed below.
The Heart Saver A.E.D. course is for the non-health care provider. In this course you will learn how to give rescue breaths, preform chest compressions, and how to do abdominal thrusts, (sometimes referred to as the Heimlich maneuver). You will also learn how to use an Automated External Defibrillator, (A.E.D.), on a victim of cardiac arrest. You will learn these skills for all age groups from infants to adults. This course takes about 3 hours to complete and offers a completion card.
Basic Life Support (BLS) for Health Care Providers
The BLS for Heath Care Providers course is for those working in any health related field from Nursing to EMS and more. Most health care fields and licenses require this course. In this course you will learn how to give rescue breaths, preform chest compressions, and how to do
abdominal thrusts, (sometimes referred to as the Heimlich maneuver).
You will learn these skills for all age groups from infants to adults. You will also learn how to use a Bag Valve Mask device that OSHA workplace practices require you to use as a health care provider, as well as an Automated External Defibrillator, (A.E.D.), on patients. This course takes between 3 and 4 hours to complete and offers a certification card that is mailed to students upon successful completion of the course and testing.
Each class costs $25 per person, however if you wish to purchase a text book there is an additional fee. All of our classes will also include instruction on Cardiocerebral Resuscitation, also commonly called C.C.R., which is similar to C.P.R., but you will do compressions only with no rescue breaths.
