Quality St Mark James Training Programs at Toronto First Aid

First aid programs are full courses, inclusive of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillation (AED) training. Core topics in the first aid program include bleeding management, choking management, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

There are also CPR-only classes as well. Students can choose from three categories: A, C, and HCP. All three include adult CPR and AED training, while C and HCP include pediatric CPR and AED. HCP is specifically targeted at health care providers.

Types of arrhythmias

Arrhythmias can be classified according to speed: fast or slow

  1. Tachycardia is a pulse or heart rate faster than 100 beats per minute.
  2. Bradycardia is a pulse or heart rate slower than 60 beats per minute.

Having tachycardia or bradycardia doesn’t automatically mean you have a heart condition. The heart rate often changes in response to different kinds of situations such as physical activity and temperature. Tachycardia is usually experienced after exercising as the heart works harder to provide our tissues with oxygen. When we are sleeping our resting heart rate can become bradycardic as well.
