Drake, in partnership with Broadlawns and the American Heart Association (AHA), is offering a free 90-minute “hands (compressions) only” CPR class on Friday, Feb. 2 in the Olmsted Center, CR 310-313 for faculty, staff, and students.  There are two class time options: 10–11 a.m. or 1–2 p.m.

Hands-only CPR is a great option for those who want to learn CPR but either don’t have time for a full CPR/AED/First Aid course or are hesitant to provide mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.  This class offers a “compressions only” version that has been shown to be as effective in the first few minutes, as conventional CPR for cardiac arrest in teens and adults.

The AHA would like to train as many faculty, staff, and students as possible on Feb. 2, so please spread the word.

To register, send an email to linda.feiden@drake.edu.
