Text Box:   Red Cross will continue to offer full CPR training as well as the hands-only technique With the increasing importance of compression only or “hands only” CPR  in many cardiac emergencies, the American Red Cross today announced an initiative to educate 5 million people in 2011 about the use of this potentially lifesaving technique. Hands-only CPR is a technique that involves simply using chest compressions on an individual who has suffered sudden cardiac arrest .  The technique involves no mouth to mouth contact and is best used in emergencies outside of hospitals where a bystander has seen another person suddenly collapse. The American Red Cross is the nation’s largest provider of CPR and first aid training, and the new Red Cross initiative includes several different ways in which the public can learn hands-only CPR: ·         In early 2011, the Red Cross will launch a 30-minute, instructor-led “Citizen CPR” skills training so the average person can quickly and easily learn the hands only technique.  ·         People can now go to www.redcross.org to download a free PDF instructional guide and watch a two-minute video on the hands-only CPR technique. ·         The Red Cross already offers a product to help people learn hands-only CPR at home. That product can be purchased at www.redcross.org and retails for $9.99. SAVE TIME AND MONEY BY CONTACTING THIS OFFICE. WE HAVE THEM IN STOCK FOR $10.00 with no shipping expense.    Contact your local Chapter for more details :                                                American Red Cross Mission The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement, will provide relief to victims of disasters and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to eme                                                                                                          About Usnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Staff
