Pischke, North Webster CPU classes held April 14-16 Goshen Hospital is offering a Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) class on Monday, April 14, and Wednesday, April 16, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the hospital’s education department. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an emergency measure which almost everyone can learn in a short time. CPR may keep the heart attack patient alive until more advanced life support is available. When a person’s heart stops for any reason — heart attack, electrical shock, drowning, smoke inhalation — the first few minutes can mean the difference between life and death. The American Heart Association estimates that 50,000 heart attack victims could be saved annually if emergency care were available at the scene. CPR can provide that immediate care. It involves mouth-to-mouth breathing and chest massage to restart the stopped heart. Its purpose is to keep the heart attack victim alive until advanced life support is available. Teachers, homemakers, students, policemen, businessmen, restaurant employees and families of heart patients should all take advantage of CPR training. With the knowledge of proper CPR techniques, a person may be able to save a life. Anyone interested in CPR can enroll by calling the education department at Goshen Hospital. Pre-registration is required as class size is limited. There is a class fee which includes book and materials. CPR classes held in Ligonier On April 14 and 16 from 6:30-9:30 p.m., Kenney Retirement Community, 200 Kenney Circle Drive, Ligonier, will host CPR classes. Admission is free but there will be a small charge for the purchase of a CPR manual. The manuals will be sold at the first class.
