Free CPR Course at Marshfield Clinic Open to All
Marshfield Clinic is offering a free community CPR session Wednesday, Sept. 20 at Marshfield Clinic Marshfield Center, 1000 N. Oak Ave. The session will be from 5:30-8 p.m. in the Lawton Center R1A/B conference rooms. Use the Lawton Building Entrance.
This is an instructive, hands-on CPR session that reflects the most current American Heart Association guidelines for CPR and emergency cardiovascular care. High-quality course materials will be provided onsite, and attendees can keep them for ongoing reference.
The maximum number of participants per session is 20. Pre-registration is required by Sept. 13. To register, use the SurveyMonkey link or call Debra Kuehnhold at 715-389-7559.
This is not a certification course. It is designed for members of the general public to be able to perform basic lifesaving skills. This video-based, classroom session teaches:
- Adult Hands-Only CPR and automated external defibrillator
- Adult CPR with Breaths
- Mild and Severe Airway Block: How to Help a Choking Adult
- Child CPR and AED
- Mild and Severe Airway Block: How to Help a Choking Child
- Infant CPR
- Mild and Severe Airway Block: How to Help a Choking Infant
All of the modules will be covered. Participants may choose to participate in or observe each module. Skills are taught using the AHA’s research-proven practice-while-watching technique, which allows participants to practice on a CPR training manikin while skills are demonstrated in the video.
Future free CPR sessions are planned for Marshfield Clinic centers in Eau Claire, Marshfield, Minocqua, Park Falls, Rice Lake, Stevens Point and Wausau. The Clinic’s Department of Education plans to offer sessions at all of these sites on a quarterly basis. For more information call 715-389-7559.
