Ie how to use an AED, do CPR and preform the Heimlich maneuver. I’ve been certified since I was 12 (thanks Boys Scouts) and even though I’ve helped a lot of people at work I’ve never felt more personally responsible for saving a persons life then when i successfully preformed a Heinrich maneuver on an elderly women at a Culvers in Fargo. Out of the two dozen there I seemed to have been the only one who knew what to do. I can’t imaging being in that situation with a loved one and watching them die in front of you. Most hospitals and community centers will offer this to the general public, sign up, you never know when you can save a life.
