Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure that can help save a person’s life

A CPR training course is taking place in Clogherinkoe.

A number of courses are taking place on Staurday in Clogherinkoe GAA.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure that can help save a person’s life if their breathing or heart stops.

When a person’s heart stops beating, they are in cardiac arrest. During cardiac arrest, the heart cannot pump blood to the rest of the body, including the brain and lungs. Death can happen in minutes without treatment.

CPR uses chest compressions to mimic how the heart pumps. These compressions help keep blood flowing throughout the body.

Session times Saturday: 10am - 11.30am, 12am - 1.30pm, 2- 3.30pm and 4pm - 5.30pm.

Members of the public can sign up on the Clogherinkoe Facebook Page or by calling Kfm 045 898 999.
