A message regarding Hands Only CPR Training on behalf of RQI and the TriHealth Corporate Clinical Education AHA Training Center.
Each year in the United States, an estimated 350,000 people experience sudden cardiac arrest in the community[4]. Anyone who witnesses a cardiac arrest in the community (i.e., not in a hospital) can perform CPR. Roughly 70% of cardiac arrests that do not happen in the hospital, occur in homes and private residences, therefore, a friend or family member is mostly likely to be the person who needs to take action. CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival.
There is an option to prepare to provide CPR in the community for TriHealth team members who are not required to maintain AHA Basic Life Support Certification for Health Care Providers in their job. Please consider learning more about Hands-Only CPR for adults and adolescent children, Hands-Only CPR is an easy-to-learn skill that requires only two steps: call emergency services and push hard and fast in the center of the chest at a rate of 100-120 beats per minute.
For more information regarding TriHealth’s CPR training for Health Care Providers using HeartCode BLS, please visit Corporate Clinical Education here.

The Hands-Only CPR link takes you to a short video, which does not involve a class. This is the best care that a lay person can provide.
