American Red Cross BLS CPR & AED Classes with Infant CPR in Newport News, VA

Newport News’s Best Infant CPR Classes

Infant CPR training helps you develop the confidence to respond effectively when a baby or young child experiences a medical emergency. During your course, you’ll learn how to recognize respiratory distress, respond to choking emergencies, identify when an infant is unresponsive, and apply Red Cross BLS, CPR, and AED principles based on the age of the person needing assistance.

Hands-on practice with instructor guidance gives you the confidence to provide care for infants, children, and adults during emergency situations.

Understanding why Infant CPR is important begins with recognizing common emergency situations:

• Thousands of children experience cardiac emergencies each year.
• Infants are especially vulnerable to breathing emergencies, including suffocation and sleep-related incidents.
• Many pediatric cardiac emergencies begin with respiratory distress or blocked airways.

CPR training can also help you respond during emergencies involving near-drowning, head injuries, smoke inhalation, poisoning, and electrical accidents.

What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique that combines chest compressions with rescue breathing to help circulate oxygen-rich blood when someone has stopped breathing or is experiencing cardiac arrest. Infant CPR should only be performed on babies who are unresponsive and not breathing normally.
