> I commend anyone that gets their first aid or CPR certificates and maintains them. I assisted in co-teaching Red Cross classes for about 16 years. I go every six months for CPR training. I try to keep my first aid current every two years. Having been in Scouts we were given the opportunity to get CPR trained every year. So this more or less became a habit. My job requires I maintain current certifications. So any time their are changes we have to redo the class even if it is sooner than our anniversary. One year in particular we had to do CPR three times. You don?t have to see to identify if a person is conscious, check a persons vitals, ensure they have a good airway, feel for bleeding or broken bones (hopefully with non-latex gloves), apply basic first aid. Of course we are limited in our capacity to assess any situation where site may be  required, but that does not prevent us from summoning help in most cases or maintaining calm and managing an event until first responders arrive on site.
