Important Course Information:
Thank you for your interest in keeping your loved ones safe! Our staff looks forward to meeting you and helping to prepare you for a real life emergency!
We recommend you wear loose, comfortable clothing to the training session. You will be practicing skills that require you to perform strenuous physical activity, bending, standing, and lifting. If you have any physical conditions that might prevent you from engaging in these activities, please inform our staff by contacting Kevin (kevin@pittsburghcpr.com), or by informing an instructor during the training session. The instructors may be able to adjust the equipment if you have back, knee, or hip problems, or if you are pregnant.
This course may include physical strain, possibility of cross-infection and emotional stress. If your physician has recommended that you avoid strenuous activity in any way, you need to realize that CPR is hard work! This is true both in practicing on the manikins and doing CPR for a cardiac arrest victim. If you have a medical or cardiac history that may be aggravated by this course, you should consult your physician and ask his or her advice as to whether you should participate in a CPR course. If you have reservations about being able to perform CPR on a cardiac arrest victim, you should consider this before beginning the course. If you have recently had any type of infectious disease, including upper respiratory infection or open sores in your mouth or hands, it may be better to defer manikin practice until you are well. Our manikins, AED trainers, and additional equipment used in training classes and exercises are disinfected using a bleach solution after each class use. Pittsburgh CPR will, at the request of a student or facility, disinfect each manikin between use by each student.
