CPR 101

According to the American Heart Association, children as young as nine-years-old can learn and retain CPR training. Though many children at that age do not yet have the strength to perform adequate chest compression on an adult, learning this life skill will stick with them for the rest of their life. There are countless incidents of young people performing CPR, first aid, or utilizing other emergency training skills to save a life, sometimes years or even decades later.

We recommend refreshing the training every two years to keep skills sharp, learn about any changes in methodology, and to help strengthen muscle memory. New View Training, works actively to teach youths throughout Nebraska and Western Iowa CPR and other lifesaving skills.

CPR and Life Saving Training Stays with You for Life – Though training and skills should be updated and refreshed every two years, those skills will stay with your child for life. You never know.
