BLS CPR & AED Classes with Infant CPR in Gainesville

CPR training empowers you to confidently respond immediately in emergencies, teaching you how to manage infants during crises and recognize signs of unresponsiveness and choking.

Important: Administer CPR only to infants who are not breathing independently or are unconscious/unresponsive.

Infants (0-12 months) may frequently need CPR due to breathing issues or cardiac arrest resulting from respiratory problems. The following statistics emphasize the significance of being knowledgeable about infant CPR:

• More than 7,000 children experience cardiac arrest annually.
• In 2018, over 21,000 infants lost their lives, with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and suffocation ranking as the 4th and 5th leading causes.
• The primary cause of cardiac arrest in young children is respiratory failure or airway obstruction.
• Other situations necessitating CPR for infants encompass near-drowning, smoke inhalation, head trauma, electrical shock, and poisoning.

Although we hope you never have to apply your CPR training, our instructors ensure that you are prepared to confidently administer BLS, CPR, and AED skills, whether you’re assisting an infant, child, or adult.
