Last week, Kansas City International Airport Police participated in a two-day training over proper CPR and AED practices.
The program trains professional-level rescuers to respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies in adults, children and infants until more advanced medical personnel take over.
At the end of the training, all participants were certified by the American Red Cross in the following skills:
Rapid Assessment
Giving Ventilations using a resuscitation mask
Using a Bag-Valve-Mask Resuscitator
CPR and AED use (single-rescuer, two rescuer, and multiple-rescuer team response with 4 rescuers)
Obstructed Airway Care
This training is part of the Kansas City Aviation Department's long-standing goal to ensure all staff are up to date on relevant skills and training to ensure travelers receive the best possible care and support when using Kansas City International Airport.
