Would You Know What to Do If a Child Had a Cardiac Emergency?
Cardiac emergencies don’t just happen to adults. Children—especially those with underlying health conditions, physical trauma, or sudden illness—can go into cardiac arrest too. When every second counts, would you know what to do?
Whether you're a #parent, #teacher, #daycare provider, or camp counselor, knowing Pediatric First Aid and CPR could mean the difference between life and death. AidCPR, a ChildCareEd company, offers blended and in-person training options that prepare you to act confidently when it matters most.
Why Do Children Go Into Cardiac Arrest?
While rare, cardiac arrest in children is typically caused by:
-
Drowning or near-drowning incidents
-
Choking on food or small objects
-
Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis)
-
Respiratory issues like asthma
-
Undiagnosed heart conditions
Unlike adults, pediatric cardiac arrest often begins with breathing problems. That means CPR—especially with rescue breaths—is essential.

What Happens in a Cardiac Emergency?
Imagine this:
You're supervising playtime at a daycare when a 3-year-old suddenly collapses. They’re unresponsive, not breathing normally, and turning pale. Do you:
✅ Call 911 and begin CPR
❌ Freeze and hope someone else knows what to do?
Without proper training, it’s easy to panic. But with Pediatric CPR and First Aid training, you’d know exactly how to check responsiveness, call for help, and begin high-quality CPR—buying critical minutes until emergency responders arrive.
What Skills Will You Learn in a Pediatric CPR Class?
AidCPR's Pediatric First Aid and CPR course covers:
-
How to perform CPR on infants, children and adults
-
How to use an Automated External Defibrillator (#AED)
-
How to respond to choking and breathing emergencies
-

-
How to control bleeding and respond to common injuries
-
How to remain calm and confident during emergencies
🎯 Training is easy to follow, hands-on, and designed specifically for childcare providers, teachers, and parents.
🧠 Fun Fact: CPR can double or triple a child’s chance of survival during cardiac arrest when administered quickly.
