Do you need a CPR class? Which one?
Most people only go for one type of CPR certification, and they are in fact unaware that there are many different types. The most common question is whether you need to obtain your AED certification, and right behind that is whether or not they need to obtain standard or healthcare provider CPR certification.

Nicole is a very kind and professional instructor! I've gone through CPR training twice over the years in other states and her class was by far the best! I immediately felt confident I could apply everything I learned and I didn't feel that way in the other classes I took. Thank you, Nicole! I highly recommend!

What is blended training?
This new learning method was launched in 2015 by the American Heart Association.
You are required to complete an online part 1 module for your class which consists on the theory and written test. Upon completion, you will be provided a certificate that you must give to the instructor who will be doing your Part 2 and 3.
Part 2 consists of reviewing and practicing the skills that will you will be tested on. Part 3 will consist of the actual skills testing with an AHA instructor.
The duration of this type of training depends on the amount of time you dedicate to Part 1. Part 2 and 3 will take approximately an hour and a half.

PROVIDERS AND DAYCARE CENTERS
Stock Epi-Pens Epinephrinehttps://www.health.state.mn.us/data/legislative/epilaw.html
In Minnesota, laws have been passed to allow non-patient-specific epinephrine to be obtained without a doctor's prescription.
Specific entities are allowed to utilize this policy in order to be prepared for anaphylactic emergencies.
Who is allowed to stock non-patient-specific epinephrine?
Minnesota Schools are allowed to stock epinephrine under 2013 law.
Minnesota Camps, Colleges and Universities, and Preschools/Daycares are allowed to get non-patient-specific epinephrine under 2015 law.
What if my entity does not fall into the categories listed?
The Commissioner of the Department of Health can add to the categories listed, beginning on July 1st, 2016. If you wish to be added to the list, contact: Division Director's Office, Health Regulation Division; Minnesota Department of Health; P.O. Box 64900; St. Paul, MN 55164-0900.
Where can I obtain non-patient-specific epinephrine?
The injectors are available from pharmacies licensed by the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy (Board) as wholesale drug distributors pursuant to Minn. Stat. section 151.47. Not all pharmacies are licensed as wholesalers. You can use the Board’s Licensee / Registrant Search to find pharmacies that are licensed as wholesalers. You can call also your local community or hospital pharmacy to inquire if they are licensed as wholesaler.
The Minnesota Pharmacy Association, the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy, AFAA, and epinephrine manufacturers are working to inform pharmacies about the new law.
Why should entities stock non-patient-specific epinephrine?
Anaphylactic emergencies are never planned. Whether from an insect bite, or a first-time reaction to food (25% of reactions in schools are first-time reactions), or occurring in a remote location far from emergency medical services (e.g. camps, field trips, etc), seconds count when treating an allergic reaction. Stock epinephrine has saved lives, and it is sensible for entities to obtain and stock it.
What are my liabilities?
The use of an epinephrine auto-injector under this law is covered by the good Samaritan liability protections.
How do I obtain non-patient-specific epinephrine?
For schools, a representative such as a nurse coordinator may go to a wholesale pharmacy or obtain EpiPen epinephrine autoinjectors from Mylan.
For Camps, Colleges and Universities, Preschools/Daycares: these entities must provide a certificate to a wholesale pharmacy proving completion of a training program. While a license is not required, an entity's designated employee must undergo training every two years.
Currently two organizations meet the requirements under the law to provide training: AFAA & the Red Cross. AFAA provides in-house/in-service training for groups of any size (cost varies by length of training desired by the entity and travel costs).
How many epinephrine auto-injectors do I need?
There is no requirement for the number of epinephrine auto-injectors that an entity must obtain and have on-hand. This is strictly up to the entity.
Who pays for the epinephrine auto-injectors?
It is up to the entity to pay for the epinephrine auto-injectors.
Who should I contact if I have further questions?
You may email AFAA or phone them at (651) 644-5937, or you may email Susan Winkelmann at the Minnesota Department of Health.

CPR STATISTICS
There are 383,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests annually in the U.S.
4 out of 5 cardiac arrests (88%) occur at home, so it’s likely that if you know CPR you may save the life of a loved one.
Less than 8% of people who suffer SCA outside a hospital will survive
Early and effective bystander CPR can double or triple a victim’s chance at survival
Only 32% of SCA victims receive bystander CPR
CPR compressions are the most important part of CPR. Untrained rescuers or anyone who is unwilling or unable to give rescue breaths can compress the chest hard and fast in the center of the chest (at least 2 inches) and help save an adult’s life with little to no training.
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is present in almost 90% of adult cardiac arrest; the only way to stop VF is with a defibrillator.
The sooner an AED is used the more likely it will work. A SCA victim losses 7-10% chance at survival for every minute after SCA that an AED is not used.
Why Learning how to clear an obstructed airway is so important.
Dinner nearly kills me.
If you're like me, good food can lead to dangerous situations. I can’t count how many times I've been diving into a juicy burger, and before I know it, I’m choking. I'll admit it. I eat way too fast.
At least in the story we’re about to hear from EMS Safety Instructor, Perry Churchill, he was eating a much healthier meal! Perry was having dinner with his girlfriend, who he had taught in first aid and CPR.
Little did he know then, doing so may have saved his life! Here's the story just as Perry told me:
So there I was, minding my own business eating chicken and corn mixed with brussels sprouts in my living room sitting next to my girlfriend.
I took a big spoonful of the corn/sprouts mixture, and I guess I inhaled. The next thing I knew I was choking. I was trying to cough.
Trying to bring it up. Anything! But it wasn't going well. I had no air exchange. My girlfriend asked if I was okay but I couldn't answer.
All I could do was shake my head, no. I was unable to breath.
I stood up the same time she did and put my back towards her. She positioned herself behind me and started to perform abdominal thrusts (the Heimlich maneuver) on me. She performed a total of 6 or 7 thrusts before I was able to start coughing and getting some air exchange and clear my throat.
That was too close for comfort. Actually, when my airway closed, my first thought was I have been in trauma twice and lived. I thought 'I am going to die choking on corn and brussels sprouts.' I trained her in first aid/CPR/AED a couple of years ago.
I guess it paid off. the rest of the night I was coughing from the itchy throat and this morning still had a sore throat.
But I woke up this morning, which is always a good thing.
So there you have it. You never know when training someone will save a life, or better yet, your life!
Eating is often a social situation: we have meals to celebrate promotions, as first dates, or even to catch up with old friends. It might seem silly to say, but it can be dangerous, especially when we're talking and eating at the same time. If you haven't done so yet, be sure to teach your friends and family CPR/AED and first aid.
Is blended training recognized by employers as a valid training?
The certificate you receive upon completion of the blended training is the same one as you would receive in the instructor led classroom course. It is nationally recognized.
How long is the certificate valid for?
All CPR certifications are valid for 2 years.
What certification do I need for my job?
All our Heartsaver Courses are certified by the American Heart Association (AHA) .The AHA is a nationally recognized organization and the certification should be valid for any workplace.
If you are a Healthcare Provider, and need to have your CPR certification for your job, you will need a BLS for Healthcare Providers course.
Do I have to retake the full class to renew my CPR certification?
According to AHA Guidelines, everyone must retake the course, whether it be through blended training or in a traditional classroom based setting, and be monitored by a certified instructor in order to receive a new CPR card. Don't worry we make it fun!
How can a get a replacement card if I lost mine?
If you were certified by TEACHYOUCPR we are able to issue a replacement card for a $18 fee.
