Brentwood , Tenn . – This February , the Brentwood Fire & Rescue Department will offer free cardiopulmonary resuscitation ( CPR ) classes at the John P . Holt Brentwood Library . CPR is a lifesaving technique that is useful in many emergencies , including heart attack or near drowning , when someone ' s heart has stopped beating .
   Classes will be offered at 6:30 p . m . on Feb . 2 , 9 , 16 , and 23 . Participants only need to attend a single two - hour class to learn these lifesaving skills . This program is geared toward anyone 16 or older .  
   Each class will offer training on infant , child , and adult CPR . Participants will be taught “hands only” CPR ( no mouth - to - mouth breathing ) . This class will use the American Heart Association’s ( AHA ) “
   Friends & Family” curriculum
   ; therefore , no CPR card will be issued . More information can be found on the AHA website ,
   www . heart . org
    .  
   For information or to sign up , contact Brentwood Firefighter Scott Barnes at
   scott . barnes@brentwoodtn . govor 615 - 371 - 2200 ext . 4523 . You can also register online and see other events happening at the Brentwood Library by visiting the library’s
   calendar .
   In addition to CPR , an automated external defibrillator ( AED ) – a portable device – is often used to quickly shock someone ' s heart and try to save their life if they collapse , have no pulse , and stop breathing . This condition is known as sudden cardiac arrest . AEDs are not a substitute for CPR , as anyone trained to operate an AED must also be trained in CPR . Early CPR is a critical step in resuscitation to help reestablish the circulation of blood and the delivery of oxygen to the body . You can learn more from Brentwood Fire Lt . Mike McCutcheon about how this device can help save lives in this
