Bay offers first aid, CPR/AED training

ESCANABA — Bay College Training and Development will be offering first aid, CPR/AED training on Wednesday, April 10, from 2 to 9 p.m. The course is suitable for daycare providers, coaches, production workers, church staff, the general public and other non-healthcare professionals. Participants will learn the critical skills needed to respond to and manage choking or a sudden cardiac arrest until emergency help arrives; this includes instruction on how to properly use an AED, or automated external defibrillator. The first aid portion of the course will cover adult and pediatric first aid that includes how to treat bleeding, broken bones, sprains, shock and other first aid emergencies.

According to the American Heart Association, each year there are over 350,000 cases of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest. The average survival rate is 10%, however, that rate increases to 31 percent when cardiac arrest is witnessed by a bystander and an AED is used.
