If a student needs an exam for regulatory or job requirements, the exam should be administered in the classroom portion of the course. As part of 2015 Guidelines education methodologies, the AHA has adopted an open-resource policy for exams administered online through an elearning course and in a classroom-based course. Open resource means that students may use resources for reference while completing the exam.

6 Training Questions Q: Who can teach this course? A: AHA Basic Life Support (BLS) and Heartsaver Instructors may teach the Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED Course. Q: What resources are available to assist AHA Instructors in teaching the new Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED Course? A: The AHA developed the Heartsaver Product & Course Orientation (P&CO) to help BLS and Heartsaver Instructors understand the new, 2016 Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid and CPR AED Course design and teaching strategies, and to quickly get up to speed on the latest and most important updates to the course materials. This orientation is accessible free of charge to Instructors on the AHA Instructor Network. The P&CO provides Instructors Information about new course materials, course curriculum updates, and how the changes impact the way you will teach Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid and CPR AED Courses Details, clarification, and direction on various course formats Specifics about new course materials Steps to incorporate new updates into various course settings While all BLS and Heartsaver Instructors are strongly encouraged to complete the Heartsaver P&CO before teaching the new courses, it is not required. Viewing the P&CO is most helpful if Instructors have new course materials in-hand while viewing. Purchasing Materials/Finding Classes Q: Where can I purchase Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED Course materials? A: Course materials can be purchased from any of the AHA s three Distributors. AHA ebooks can also be purchased at ebooks.heart.org. Q: How do I find a Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED class near me? A: To find a Training Center near you offering this course, please use the Find a Course tool at CPR.Heart.org. Product Support Q: Who should I contact if I have problems with the Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED Course materials? A: For issues with course materials, customers should contact the AHA Distributor from whom they purchased materials. Science Questions Q: What is the difference between an airway block and choking? A: The term choking refers to a block in the upper airway caused by food or other objects. The airway block can be mild or severe. When the airway block is mild, the person who is choking can breathe, speak, and cough. Forceful coughing will often succeed in dislodging the object from the airway. A rescuer does not need to intervene as long as the person can breathe, speak, and cough. If the rescuer is worried about the person s breathing, the rescuer should call 911. If the airway block is severe, air is not getting to the lungs, so the rescuer must act. The person with severe airway block is unable to breathe, speak, or cough. Choking with severe airway block is life threatening, and the person needs to recognize the problem and provide immediate first aid with abdominal thrusts.
7 Q. Why isn t there practice for adult and child choking? A. Actions to assist a person who is choking cannot be safely performed on other students in the classroom. Unfortunately, most manikins used in the classroom are not suitable for effective practice. Although the AHA has included the choking practice before, it likely does not prepare people for a choking emergency because it cannot be practiced correctly in the classroom. Rather than practice potentially incorrect techniques such as inadequate abdominal thrusts and to avoid risk of harm to other students, the choking practice was removed from the course. Q. Is there a specific place to tap a person when checking for a response? A. It doesn t matter where the person is tapped. For consistency, we teach tapping the shoulder of adults and children and tapping the foot of infants. Q: How do I perform CPR on someone who is confined to the wheelchair? A: Move the person to the floor and begin CPR. If you are unable to move the person and you are alone, provide chest thrusts if you can, by kneeling behind the wheelchair, wrapping your arms around the person, and using your fists to perform thrusts in the center of the chest. Continue chest thrusts until help arrives. It is always better to attempt CPR than to do nothing. Q. Why don t AHA courses teach AED for infants? A. Cardiac arrest in infants is most often caused by a problem with breathing that worsens over a short period of time. This means that an AED is less likely to be effective in infants compared with adults. Also, the 2015 AHA Guidelines Update for CPR and ECC recommends a more advanced defibrillator than an AED. This more advanced defibrillator is taught in more advanced courses. Although an AED could be used for an infant, the science experts were concerned with adding another level of knowledge to this course, because infant cardiac arrest is fairly uncommon and because the AED is much less likely to be required. For these reasons, this topic is best left for more advanced courses.
