What CPR Training Is Available?
CPR and AED training courses are divided into three levels: “A”, “C”, and “HCP”. AEDs are machines that are able to detect heart rhythms and apply needed shock during resuscitation.
Training classes use the 2010 Basic Life Support (BLS) guidelines made by the American Heart Association as guide in teaching the CPR and AED pathway. Recent studies show that there is an increase in survival rates with immediate chest compressions within the fist 3-5 minutes after collapse. This is part of the latest BLS guidelines taught in all CPR training levels.

Knowing how to prevent the victim from injuring himself and safety precautions for the victim and rescuer are taught in this class.
Safety management during the seizure
- Free the area around the victim from objects that can cause injury
- Turn the victim to his side to prevent possible aspiration of vomitus and to keep the tongue from blocking the airway
- Place something underneath the victim’s head, such as a pillow or rolled towel or cloth
- Do not place anything into the victim’s mouth
- Do not restrain the victim
- Loosen the victims clothes, especially around the neck area

Medication administration and diabetes
Diabetes type 2 can typically be managed with a healthy diet and lifestyle, as well oral medication. Trained rescuers are taught to recognize different common medications taken for chronic diseases. Oral diabetes medication help lower blood glucose levels through increased uptake by the cells. Newly diagnosed people are usually prescribed metformin.
