What is CPR?

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique used when breathing or heartbeat stops due to cardiac arrest, choking, or drowning. By combining chest compressions with rescue breaths, CPR keeps oxygen flowing until professional help arrives. Quick action with CPR training can double or triple a person’s chance of survival.

What to Expect in Your Course

Red Cross CPR Houston follows current American Red Cross guidelines and uses a blended learning format that combines required online coursework with an in-person skills session. After completing the online portion, you’ll use CPR manikins to practice proper hand placement, compression depth, rescue breaths, and AED operation. Through interactive practice, you’ll also learn how to recognize cardiac arrest, assist a choking victim, and stay composed in life-threatening moments.

The hands-on portion includes CPR for adults, children, and infants, with guided practice that helps you adjust your technique for different age groups. During your in-person skills session, you’ll receive guidance and feedback from an experienced instructor to reinforce the concepts and techniques you learned online.
