According to AHA, you must have the ability to push at the proper depth on the manikins consistently and administer breaths properly. This is an AHA requirement for the SKILLS portion of the testing. If you have any physical issues or health problems that may prevent you from meeting this requirement, please speak with a We R CPR instructor immediately.
This includes:
- Fever/ flu symptoms
- Cold sores/ open face sores
- Recent wrist, arm or shoulder surgery
- Spinal or neck injuries
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Parkinson’s
- Pregnancy
- TB- active
- Inability to stand
We will make accommodations as allowed. However, you may be required to return at another time if you are unable to pass the skills portion and you will not be able to receive your AHA CPR card.
