CPR

CPR is an emergency procedure that can save a person's life when they are unconscious. Our CPR Training course is designed to teach you how to perform CPR and use an AED and how to assess a victim. Students learn how to administer CPR to someone who has stopped breathing and is in cardiac arrest. CPR provides life-saving assistance to a person's circulatory system, which can help prevent disability or death. The American Heart Association estimates that every year, more than 350,000 people in the United States die from sudden cardiac arrest.

AEDs

AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) are a portable device that can be used to diagnose and treat victims of sudden cardiac arrest. AEDs are designed to be used by the general public, including laypersons and those with no medical training.

The AED is the only device that can diagnose victims of sudden cardiac arrest. If you find a victim in cardiac arrest, call 911 and then go to the victim.

State of Health in Delaware

The Delaware Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) is a state agency that is responsible for the public health and social services in Delaware. They are responsible for providing high-quality, accessible health care to all Delaware residents.

In 2017, the DHSS reported that they had a total of 1,471 cases of HIV infection diagnosed in Delaware. This number is higher than in any other year since 1987. The DHSS also reported that they had a total of 4,838 cases of chlamydia diagnosed in 2017. This number has been steadily increasing since 2008 when there were only 2,609 cases diagnosed.

The statistics presented by DHSS show that there is an epidemic happening with HIV and chlamydia rates rising every year. These rates are not just confined to specific populations but are increasing from the general population. There are a number of reasons that have been proposed as to why this is happening, but the most prominent one is the lack of education around these issues.

Delaware has been ranked as number one in the nation for its quality of healthcare system. This ranking was given after a study conducted by the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) found that Delaware has some of the best hospitals in America. Delaware is ranked as the 19th healthiest state in America by the United States Chamber of Commerce.

The state ranks number one in the nation for percentage of adults who have received a flu shot. The percentage of people who smoke is also well below the national average, at just under 16%. Delaware has a population of 2,052,177 people. This is the 45th most populous state in the United States. It is important to note that Delaware has a high number of physicians per capita - 18 per 1000 people which is also higher than the national average (17). The life expectancy in Delaware is 80.2 years. This is higher than the national average of 78.8 years. In 2015, Delaware had a total of 5,074 deaths from cancer and this was the third highest number in the country after California and Texas respectively.
