Family & Friends CPR is a modular course that teaches CPR and removal of airway obstructions.  Module one presents information about the American Heart Association (AHA) adult Chain of Survival and signs of heart attack, cardiac arrest, stroke and choking in adults.  Module 2 presents information about the AHA pediatric infant and child Chain of Survival and signs of choking in infants and children.  Groups may select either or both modules to suit their specific needs.  The intended audience are laypersons who want to learn rescue skills for friends and loved ones, and family members of patients at risk for sudden cardiac arrest.  This is the most popular course, but is not a tested certification class.  A course attendance card is issued.
