The Foundation of the American Heart Association and Laerdal Medical

Practice like you play is an oft-repeated phrase that coaches of many sports advise their athletes. Being prepared and practicing frequently for any event, from athletics to business to healthcare, will enable you to perform your best when the pressure is on.

For over 90 years, the American Heart Association (AHA) has been diligently focused on improving heart health and reducing deaths from heart conditions and diseases. Healthcare providers look to the AHA for guidelines on stroke, STEMI, heart failure, resuscitation and more, and treat patients based on these guidelines. But the guidelines alone aren’t enough – practice is required to provide the best possible patient care and save the most lives.

The AHA and Laerdal Medical, partners since 2005, are committed to the mission of saving lives through high quality CPR training and have the ideal and inimitable foundation of resuscitation science, education and technology to achieve this important goal. Learn more about innovations from the AHA and Laerdal that lead to improved resuscitation care and patient outcomes.

Quality improvement solutions, including RQI 2020, HeartCode and Get With the Guidelines - Resuscitation, require healthcare providers to practice and master high quality CPR. The landscape of resuscitation quality expectations is changing and more lives are being saved as a result.

If you want to hit a home run in the big game, you have to practice. If you want to save the life of a patient in cardiac arrest, you have to practice. Practice with the definitive leaders in resuscitation science and technology – your patients deserve it.
