CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

To receive certification, AHA requires students to perform skills to a standard that demonstrates proficiency. Please review all physical and cognitive performance requirements below.

PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS:

Performing CPR is physically demanding. All students must demonstrate the required skills for class. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to the physical and cognitive requirements.

Students should not register for class if they feel they are unable to perform 2 minutes of high-quality compressions on an adult manikin. Inability to perform high-quality CPR for the designated requirement will result in NO CERTIFICATION and no refund.

Students must demonstrate high-quality compressions, high-quality ventilations with a bag-mask device, and cognitive understanding and application of BLS skills during cardiac and respiratory arrest in a single-rescuer and multi-rescuer team.

CPR SKILLS

• ADULT Compressions: perform 2 minutes of 30 high-quality compressions, 2" deep with full recoil, at a rate of 100-120 beats per minute. Manikins give real-time objective feedback.
• ADULT Ventilations: After each set up 30 compressions, provide 2 effective ventilations in under 10 seconds, then return to compressions. Students may use a bag-valve mask and/or pocket mask. Each breath should be given over 1 second and create an appropriately-sized chest rise on the manikin.
• INFANT Compressions: 15 (multiple-rescuer) or 30 (individual-rescuer) high-quality compressions, 1-1/2" deep with full recoil, at a rate of 100-120 beats per minute.
• INFANT Ventilations: After each set of 15 or 30 compressions, provide 2 effective ventilations in under 10 seconds, then return to compressions. Students may use a bag-valve mask and/or pocket mask. Each breath should be given over 1 second and create an appropriately-sized chest rise on the manikin.
• AED for Adult and Infant: student must turn on the trainer AED and then follow audible and visual prompts, apply pads correctly, ensure safety of all participants via effective communication, and leave AED and pads on for the duration of the scenario.

RESCUE BREATHING SKILLS

• Adult Rescue Breathing: 1 breath every 6 seconds
• Child Rescue Breathing: 1 breath every 3 seconds
• Infant Rescue Breathing: 1 breath every 2 seconds

If the child/infant has a pulse of less than 60 beats per minute, with signs of poor perfusion despite adequate oxygenation, begin CPR.

CONSCIOUS CHOKING SKILLS

• INFANT: Repeated sets of 5 back slaps followed by 5 chest thrusts until infant goes unresponsive
• ADULT/CHILD: Abdominal and/or chest thrusts until person goes unresponsive

UNCONSCIOUS CHOKING SKILLS

• Immediately start CPR, starting with compressions. Visually check the airway before giving breaths.

COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE REQUIRMENTS

• Students must pay attention to all videos played during class.
• Students must be able to integrate verbal feedback from instructor into the scenario practiced on a manikin.
• Students must be able to identify and treat cardiac arrest and respiratory failure/respiratory arrest.
• Students must answer 21 out of 25 questions correctly on the final exam (verbal, written, or electronic). The class is purposefully designed to prepare the student for the final exam. All 25 questions will be prepared for verbally throughout the duration of class; the final exam should feel like a summary of what you have already learned and practiced.

AHA Disclaimer:
