Last Thursday, we took our final class at the hospital. This time we learned how to perform CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver on infants, children, and adults. We watched a video made by the American Heart Association that explained all the techniques used to revive someone that has had a heart attack, cardiac arrest, stroke, or is choking. While watching the video, we used life-like manikins to practice our rescue breathing and chest compressions until we were proficient. Although it wasn't a certification course, we will hopefully know how to act and what to do if we are ever placed into a situation where we need to revive someone.-Cort
