BLS CPR & AED Classes with Infant CPR in Durham

Parents, caregivers, teachers, and healthcare professionals can all benefit from knowing how to respond when an infant experiences a medical emergency. Our Infant CPR classes in Durham provide hands-on, step-by-step instruction that teaches you how to recognize warning signs and respond quickly. During your Infant CPR class, you’ll learn how to manage choking incidents, breathing emergencies, and unresponsiveness, helping you protect infants when every second counts.

Note: Infant CPR should only be administered when a baby is unresponsive or not breathing normally. Our instructors explain the appropriate situations for CPR and demonstrate how to perform each technique safely and correctly.

Infants from birth to 12 months may require CPR due to airway blockages, respiratory distress, or other emergencies that interfere with normal breathing and circulation. Learning Baby CPR can provide the skills needed to respond during these critical situations. Consider these important facts:

• Thousands of children suffer cardiac arrest each year in the United States.
• Respiratory emergencies and choking are among the most common causes of infant cardiac arrest.
• Suffocation and sleep-related incidents continue to be significant risks during infancy.
• Drowning, smoke inhalation, head injuries, electrical accidents, and poisoning may also create situations where Infant CPR is needed.

While no one expects to encounter these emergencies, our Infant AHA CPR classes in Durham help participants develop the confidence and skills needed to respond effectively when faced with a crisis involving an infant, child, or adult.

What is CPR?

Infant CPR uses specialized techniques designed specifically for a baby’s size and physiology. In our Infant CPR classes, you’ll learn how to deliver appropriate compressions and rescue breaths to help sustain circulation until emergency medical personnel arrive.
