CPR Training and COVID-19

[Donna Schmidt]

Hi all, I had a question and would appreciate your feedback or suggestions.

Clinical educators are wanting to ensure all staff are up to date with their BLS Assessment. My question is given the current risks with COVI-19, would it be better to

a) Delay CPR training and just do the online component with HETI? or

b) Complete the assessment with compressions etc, but omit the breaths component? Making sure to maintaining spatial separation and wiping down the resus doll between each person?

Also open to other suggestions.
Kind Regards,
Donna Schmidt
