The full first aid program runs throughout the week, 14-16 hours in total. Students learn and practice first aid skills on high-end training equipment such as AED trainers and adult and pediatric training mannequins. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillation (AED) training are also included in the topic lineup.

Students who do not want to enroll in a first aid program can opt for a CPR-only class, inclusive of AED training as well. There are three categories to choose from, the first two – A and C – for lay rescuers, and the last – HCP – for health care providers and professionals. These categories are 4, 5, and 6 hours long per week.

Complications of an arrhythmia

In a healthy heart, arrhythmias can just cause mild chest discomfort with no lasting damage and signs and symptoms. However, in the case that the heart is damaged, the arrhythmia can signal a person’s worsening condition. Possible arrhythmia complications include:

  • Stroke – When the heart is unable to pump blood effectively due to irregular contractions, blood can pool in the systemic circulation before the heart. This can cause blood to clot. If the clot travels to the brain, a stroke can occur.
  • Heart failure – When the heart experiences unresolved arrhythmias, the heart muscle, and impulses stop working and cause heart failure and cardiac arrest.
