Why Blended CPR Certification?

Online CPR certifications are fake. But there’s still an easier way to get certified! No more 4 hour classes. If you have a computer, tablet or cell phone you can be certified. Read More….

What is a Blended CPR course?

It’s the evolution of CPR training.

This version is available through all CPR organizations (such as American Heart Association, Red Cross, and ASHI). All of these programs are designed as a two step process.

First the student (that’s you) purchases the appropriate online course through the instructor OR through the organization.

BEWARE OF SCAMS! Online Only courses are not the same.

After the student takes the online portion and passes they will schedule a time with their instructor to perform the skills checkoff. This is the part that is absolutely required to finish your certification!!

After the skills check is finished you will receive an email with your certification card in it!

Your CPR card is good for 2 years. You can keep it on your phone, email, digitally, on paper… however you can think of it your card will be there!

Online CPR – It’s Not What You Think

Online CPR certification is a waste of money and time. Read why you should avoid it!

When searching for online CPR classes you’ll immediately find a slew of sponsored AD’s blaring to the universe how low cost, effective, and overall great their program is.

We will provide refunds if your employer / institution does not accept our online course, and if this denial can be confirmed.

What does this mean?
Even though they say they’re ‘Accredited’ this means nothing. There is no governing body approving CPR courses in the United States. It is purely up to local rules and regulations to approve of the use of a CPR program.

So technically you CAN do online CPR, but do you really want to? There is 0 requirement to pass the online course before taking a quiz. This ‘quiz’ can be taken as many times as you want. After the quiz you pay and get a printable CPR card.

If anyone coming from this program can perform effective CPR, we would love to see that. All these programs ACTUALLY do is damage the efficacy of CPR training turning it into a nightmare for people who are required to hold a CPR certification.

What can you do?
CPRmobile is always available to answer questions and provide guidance. Even if you’re at a distance we can provide you with enough guidance to take a course that is right for you.

Do You STOP Breathing?

Do you stop breathing at night? Are you irritable and don’t sleep well? You may have a serious condition.

Like the title asks, are you not breathing when you sleep?

Do you feel like you can’t sleep enough?
Have you fallen asleep driving?
Do you feel irritable most days?
Do you have trouble staying asleep?
Do you wake up gasping?

All of these questions poke at one problem. Sleep apnea.
What is sleep apnea?
It’s a common and potentially serious condition literally meaning: no breathing during sleep.

So what if I stop breathing when I sleep? What’s the worst that could happen?
According to various studies through the American Association of Respiratory Therapy, American Heart Association, Mayo Clinic and numerous other institutions (Google: sleep apnea research) are finding links related to Diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

So what’s the worst that could happen? You could be spending significant time in the hospital, doctors office and spending huge amounts of money on your health care. The end point is very uncomfortable to talk about. As a clinician based business we have seen first hand the destruction it can cause.

We are here to help. Clicking on the links above will bring you to helpful documents. We are also providing a free PDF to help you figure out if you need to see a doctor. (original creators of this document can be found here)

As always, we recommend seeing a licensed medical doctor or specialist. Although we are practicing medical providers we are not doctors. We give advice only. You are ultimately responsible to seek qualified care.

We are always here for questions! Contact us

Is Successful CPR Impossible?

Having chest pain? Maybe you should read this before you eat that cheeseburger.

Stats are hard to ignore. Especially this one:

90% of people die due to sudden cardiac arrest outside of the hospital.

@cprmobile

As a professional in the field I’m clearly not happy with this number. You mean to tell me that our society has a 10% success rate with CPR?
No that’s not really the case. There are many factors that play into who lives and who dies because of cardiac arrest.

Example? There is a vein on our heart called ‘The Widowmaker’ named such because if it becomes blocked and causes a heart attack?…
enough said. (Also see)

In this case if CPR isn’t started within minutes and an ambulance doesn’t arrive in time, this person has little chance of survival. Also against our fight for life is inadequate CPR. The overly timid or overly zealous compressors could either be ineffective or further damaging the heart.

So what do we do? How do we fight back against this 90%?
Practice, awareness, visualization, preparing your family, being self prepared, encouraging regular workshops at home.

What can instructors and other professionals do?
As healthcare professionals we have an obligation to our patients and the public to serve as translators of information.

CPRmobile sees it as our responsibility to keep ourselves open as a resource for the general public. We are always here to help and even come in for training.

Whatever you do, never stop learning. One article a week? A video a month?
Good! Keep up your interest and share with others.

Do you know what CPR is? Don’t be a fool! Your family may depend on you to know this!

Have you ever heard someone say CPR?
I bet you have.
It’s a commonly used to talk about a life saving technique with a very, very, very long name.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is the process of compressing someone’s heart to push blood through their body to help them survive.

As healthcare professionals we learn the basic techniques early in our career. Always before we go from the classroom to the hospital. I see it as the basis of all emergency care.
You do a fast yet basic exam of the person. You call for more help, and then begin the medical procedure.

As people out in the world, you will almost never have to learn this technique unless required by an employer or some authority. Or maybe you experience someone having a medical emergency.

Either way, CPR is not a common technique to learn. That’s why we SHS exists!
This post is to connect a few resources to you. So for those interested to learn more here are a few resources.

American Heart Association – leading education system and research for CPR.
International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation – A middle man for all international resuscitation organizations.
Reader’s Digest – Their simple take on CPR
The Office – A hilarious video
Another hilarious video

In the end, it’s all up to you to learn CPR. You may never need it, or fate might step in and change your life. It’s up to you.
I personally have opted to take the life insurance plan called CPR.
