CPR Classes in Las Vegas
Did you know that an American suffers from a heart attack once every two minutes? Today, less than 1/3 of these victims receive bystander CPR assistance. Northwest Career College is an American Heart Association (AHA) testing center and is working with the AHA to improve that statistic by offering CPR Classes in Las Vegas, one bystander and one victim at a time, by providing affordable, quality CPR Classes to the Las Vegas community.
Why Take Action?
- The life you save with CPR is mostly likely to be a loved one.
- Four out of five heart attacks happen at home.
- Statistically speaking, the life you save is likely to be someone at home: a child, a spouse, a parent or a friend.
- African-Americans are almost twice as likely to experience a heart attack at home, work or in another public location, and their survival rates are twice as poor as for Caucasians.
- Failure to act in a cardiac emergency can lead to unnecessary deaths.
- CPR provided immediately after a sudden heart attack can double or triple a victim’s chance of survival.
- Only 32% of heart attack victims get CPR from a bystander.
- Sadly, less than 8% of people who suffer a heart attack outside the hospital survive.
- The American Heart Association trains more than 12 million people annually in CPR in order to teach them the skills to perform bystander CPR. Northwest provides a Certified AHA CPR Trainer for every class given.
