Everyone should learn some CPR. CPR is such a useful skill to have, and it can come in handy in some situations. Knowing this useful skill can end up saving some lives in certain situations and you will be glad to learn it. In fact, this video even shows us it is never too early to learn this useful skill. Maybe the young baby will even offer up some lessons to anyone willing to learn, she looks like she’s got all the moves down!

She must have been watching her parents or another adult do it and copied the moves because she looks like a veteran out there!

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, more commonly known as CPR, is a lifesaving technique used for when someone has stopped breathing or their heartbeat has stopped. It is meant to keep the flow active, if even for a little, until medical staff or an ambulance can arrive and help out the person. CPR can actually double the chances of survival after cardiac arrest! Definitely a very useful skill, you never know when someone might need some CPR.

Most people might know or recognize CPR from either witnessing it first hand or maybe seeing it on television when a lifeguard uses it at a pool or beach. Drowning incidents are actually one of the most common uses for CPR. When someone stays underwater for too long and swallows water, they need CPR to begin breathing again. Another use is for when someone chokes and it blocks their airways off. This piece of food isn’t allowing them to breathe so the chest compressions involved with CPR could help that out a bit. Also, this is useful for someone who had a heart attack and their heart stops. The chest compressions and mouth to mouth breathing can help get their heart going again and continue breathing. These accidents can happen anywhere, the local pool or beach, dinner at a restaurant, a heart attack at home, CPR is a lifesaver!

When doing CPR always be sure to call 911 first to have professional medical staff come and help. Many CPR courses are available to become certified and show you proper techniques for dealing with these situations. CPR involves chest compressions, pulse checking, clearing airways, and some mouth to mouth breathing. The chest compressions actually require some bit of force since your heart is protected by the ribcage. The idea is to get the blood flowing again with the compressions.

Obviously, the baby in the video probably doesn’t have the strength required but she has the techniques. Classes can actually be taught to kids as well around the age of 10 years old!

The young baby girl in the video exhibits some great techniques. She crawls over to the CPR dummy and gives it some great chest compressions. It even looks like she talks to it and opens its mouth a little to open the airways. She is a very attentive young girl! She even gives it some mouth to mouth breathing! I think this girl will be certified in no time! Remember it is never too late to get certified and be ready to save some lives!
