CardioPulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) consists of mouth-to-mouth respiration and chest compression.  CPR allows oxygenated blood to circulate to vital organs such as the brain and heart.  CPR can keep a person alive until more advanced procedures (such as defibrillation - an electric shock to the chest) can treat the cardiac arrest.  CPR started by a bystander doubles the likelihood of survival for victims of cardiac arrest.  

The Orlando Fire Department offers several CPR Classes throughout the year. All instructors are certified by the American Heart Association and ASHI The American Safety & Health Institute.

OFD offers both English and Spanish taught CPR classes along with Senior CPR classes.
