Helping Hearts: CPR & AED Training for the UBC Community

In Canada, someone has a cardiac arrest every 13 minutes. When someone suffers a cardiac arrest, the use of CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) in the first few minutes can more than double someone’s chances of survival.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Join us for 30 minute CPR and AED training sessions between 5-8pm on October 4, 2018 hosted by Heart & Stroke and supported by BC Emergency Health Services!

By the end of your training session, you will recognize the signs of a heart attack & cardiac arrest, how to call for help, perform hands-only CPR, and how to use an AED.

Training sessions are free and will be taking place in The Great Hall, in the AMS Student Nest (6133 University Blvd, V6T 1Z1).

Use the registration link below to secure your time:
