More than 300 thousand people die because of cardiac arrest every year. The risk of heart diseases is higher in senior citizens. 70% of adults above the age of 60 have some kind of cardiac problem. There are different types of health issues that can be the cause of cardiac arrest. There are also other social factors that can lead to this situation of life or death. If people are properly trained, knowing CPR can help save lives. Trained individuals would be ready to take immediate action when required. Coast2coast First Aid & Aquatics offers all the necessary First Aid & CPR Courses in Toronto. Here are some reasons why knowing CPR can be helpful.
A person’s brain and organs can die within minutes when the cardiac arrest occurs. Once the heart stops pumping the blood, brain death will only take 4 to 6 minutes. Taking quick action, performing CPR on the person suffering from cardiac arrest can help to pump blood in the body. It might take professionals sometime to arrive at the scene. If you will perform CPR immediately, organs of the body including brain will get oxygen and so survival, chances will increase. The chances of survival will be doubled if you will perform CPR within 2 minutes of cardiac arrest.
More than 90% of the people who die every year due to cardiac arrest do not get immediate help. We at our Toronto First Aid & CPR training facility help you learn all the right skills. The survival chances could be improved if everyone knew how to perform CPR. Even in the younger individuals risk of cardiac arrest has increased because of a sedentary lifestyle and poor dietary habits. People of all age groups should have complete CPR training.
While getting CPR training you might be thinking about how you can help a stranger. However, someone in your family or workplace can be saved from sudden cardiac arrest because you performed CPR immediately. In 70% of cases, cardiac arrest happens at and people often do not get the chance to reach the hospital. You will be grateful for the skills that you have if the need arises. It will allow you to save the life of someone you love. In the case, you have taken a First Aid & CPR Course before, you could Recertify at one of our Downtown Toronto First Aid and CPR Recertification courses.
Most of the time cardiac arrest do not happen to people who are suffering from chronic heart or health condition. Traumatic accidents, choking, electric shock and drowning can be the cause of cardiac arrest. When taking one of our First Aid & CPR courses in downtown Toronto, you will be aware of all the situation where you need to be alert. There are some health conditions that can lead to cardiac arrest like.
1. Infections
2. Heart disease
3. Diabetes
4. Allergic reactions
5. Sudden cardiac arrest because of stress or depression.
You might not feel confident when someone needs CPR. When you take your CPR training at Coast2coast First Aid & Aquatics your confidence level will increase and that will help you to make the right decision and save someone’s life.

Most of us don’t think of danger too often in our daily lives. We do follow rules of conduct at work, at home, and on the street. But what if any one of those rules fails and someone gets hurt? A child may fall into a swimming pool. Or reach up to a high shelf and fall down. A coworker may get crushed by heavy machinery. Or, as simple as that, a person may just have a stroke and drop unconscious as you stand. The list goes on and on. The question is, what do you do when and if this happens. And if you are an employer with a staff several people, another question is how much is it going to cost you when someone dies or gets severely injured on the job. Here are the four main reasons why getting your employees into a CPR course Toronto is a good idea:
As simple as that. Yes, most workplaces have WHMIS or Health and Safety instruction sessions at work, but knowing CPR makes people all the more aware of the dangers. Whether it’s chemicals, machinery, or other hazards, a Health and Safety course can only go so far to prevent danger. If an employee learns about a life or death situation, CPR emergencies and how to respond to it, however, they actually, really-truly consider their actions.
If you run a search, you’ll find there are enough group/workplace CPR courses more or less anywhere in the GTA and when employees get sent to a Toronto CPR course by their employer, they bond. Trust is established. This unique feeling of mutual support is not something any other course can achieve. Knowing people are now trained and equipped to take care of each other not just in routine tasks, but in dire need, makes the entire team stronger.
When you direct your people to separate Toronto CPR courses of their choice, they get general skills. Those skills are unarguably valuable but what they are not is industry specific. If you get a group course, you get a program that covers all the bases, while focusing on the specific types of disaster that may happen in your industry.
The cost of workplace injury when it eventually occurs can range from considerable to enormous. Spending a little to avoid spending a lot is simply good business. Get your team onboard with a workplace CPR course Toronto, and you will see how far reaching and beneficial the results can be.
