It is often scary to think about someone not having a pulse, heartbeat, and no signs of breathing around you, but there is one major process that can determine whether a person lives or dies. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation or CPR as most know it, is a technique that will save someone’s life during emergencies. Most people that work in the healthcare field will hold a certification for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

CPR certifications are not hard to get however, one day it could come in handy and you could save someone’s life just by knowing these steps.
