CPR Certification in Texas
Obtaining CPR certification in Texas can be achieved quickly and at your own convenience when you study and take your test online. You can choose any combination of CPR / AED / First Aid certification or renewal, and also complete online certification in Bloodborne Pathogens, Infant CPR, and even Babysitting certification.
Having a CPR, First Aid, Infant CPR, or AED certification could mean saving someone’s life in an emergency situation. Thousands of people are rescued every year by laypersons and medical personnel with the right training. CPR training in Texas is required for all students graduating high school; this requirement started in the 2014-2015 educational year and includes training for all students in grades 7-12.
State of Health in Texas
According to America’s Health Rankings 2016 report, Texas has a high percentage of the population lacking health insurance; a majority of residents in the state are uninsured. Texas also ranks low out of all 50 states for the number of primary care physicians in relation to the population, particularly in areas along the southern border. Disparity in health status by education is rising steadily; presently at 28.4%.
Over the past 12 months, the percentage of adults in Texas who smoke has increased by 5%; 15.2% of adults now report that they smoke, compared to 14.5% a year ago. A high prevalence of diabetes is present, which correlates with obesity (32.4%) and physical inactivity (29.5%).
Taken together, these factors pose a serious risk for more incidents of cardiac arrest; in fact, the state is 27 th in ranking for preventable deaths. It is also 24 th for infant mortality; nearly 10% of children are born prematurely; only 71% receive all childhood immunizations, and 21% live in poverty – all increasing the chances of health issues later in life.
Completing an online CPR/AED and / or First Aid course can prepare you to handle a cardiac event or other emergency health situation if one arises and you are in the vicinity.
