In most emergency situations involving children, parents are often the first responders. Actions that you take in those crucial moments matter the most and make the most impact. In emergencies such as drowning and choking, how you respond in the first few seconds can make the difference between life and death. Statistics show that it takes about seven minutes for EMS agencies to respond. It only takes four minutes for a child to suffer from permanent brain damage due to lack of oxygen. Knowing CPR will give you an advantage as the first responder in such situations. You will not only save your child’s life but also ensure his quality of life.
