Clark County — In an upcoming event called the Community CPR Challenge, Fire District 6 and Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center are inviting folks, including children, to see how many of them can learn the hands-only method of CPR in one evening.
The free training runs from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday, at Salmon Creek Elementary School, 1601 N.E. 129th St. It can be learned in as little as 22 minutes, officials said.
In hands-free CPR, recommended by the American Heart Association when adults collapse, no rescue breaths are used, just hard, fast chest compressions that keep blood and its oxygen moving to the brain.
