Lifesaving techniques are essential skills that can help save a person's life in emergencies. These techniques include CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), which is used when someone’s heart stops beating, and the Heimlich maneuver, which helps dislodge food or objects blocking a person's airway. Knowing how to perform these techniques can make a significant difference in critical situations. In addition to CPR and the Heimlich maneuver, other lifesaving techniques include first aid for treating injuries and AED (automated external defibrillator) use for restoring a normal heart rhythm. Learning these skills through certified courses can empower individuals to act confidently during emergencies and potentially save lives.
