Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique used in emergencies when someone's heart or breathing has stopped. Coursera's CPR skill catalogue teaches you the fundamentals of this critical procedure, including how to recognize when CPR is needed, the correct hand placement and compression technique for effective chest compressions, as well as how to give rescue breaths. You'll learn to handle emergency situations with confidence, understand the importance of early defibrillation, and gain knowledge of the role of CPR in the chain of survival. This skill is invaluable not just for healthcare professionals, but for anyone who wants to be prepared for emergencies.
