Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Child and Family Health Prenatal Care Youth Classes Other Classes Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) CPR classes are conducted by trained, professional staff. After successfully completing the class, you will be certified by the American Heart Association for two years. CPR involves a combination of mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing (or other artificial ventilation techniques) and chest compressions. CPR helps to maintain some oxygenated blood flowing to the brian and other vital organs until appropriate medical treatment can restore normal heart action. Approximately two-thirds of sudden deaths due to coronary heart disease occur outside of the hospital. Many of these deaths can be prevented by calling 911 and then initiating CPR.
