CPR for the Professional Rescuer, including Firefighters
Class Date(s) and Time(s):
Course Length: 4 hours
Course Instructors:
Course Price: $25 Per Student
**Maximum
**Lunch: Please pack a sack lunch that can be eaten on site, and drinks for the full day. Due to time constraints

Description: The CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers (CPRO) program trains professional-level rescuers to
respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies in adults, children and infants until more advanced medical
personnel take over. This course has been recently updated to current International Liaison Committee on
Resuscitation (ILCOR) guidelines, including the American Red Cross Aquatic Guidelines and Best Practices. The
Aquatic Guidelines and Best Practices are based on the results of scientific evidence evaluations and guideline
reviews overseen by the American Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council.
The term professional rescuer refers to those with a duty to act. These professions include EMS professionals,
nurses, physicians, CNAs, and other healthcare and public safety personnel, as well as those in the athletic
training and recreation fields, including lifeguards. Through these courses we're able to keep you up to date on
the latest techniques, so you can maintain certifications and deliver the best possible care in an emergency.
Course content includes knowledge and skills for providing emergency care for adults, children, and infants in:
• Rapid Assessment
• Giving Ventilations using a resuscitation mask
• Using a Bag-Valve-Mask Resuscitator (two rescuers)
• CPR and AED (single-rescuer, two rescuer, and multiple-rescuer team response with 4 rescuers)
• Obstructed Airway Care (responsive and unresponsive)
