Learn CPR

The Post Cardiac Arrest Service is proud to work alongside the Center for Cardiac Arrest Survival (CCAS). The CCAS builds off of decades of experience and leadership in OHCA research in Pitt-DEM but understands the need to integrate multiple disciplines into the fight, including computer science, social work, engineering, and others, and the community itself. The CCAS mission will be to attack all links in the chain of survival, leveraging the skills of this diverse array of partners, from the laboratory to the home, to ensure that research translates into real public health impact.

Members of the CCAS team, in collaboration with other academic and community partners, are involved in several initiatives to promote knowledge of bystander CPR in communities across the greater Pittsburgh region. To request free CPR training for your group or organization, please contact us at ccas@pitt.edu. If you are interested in obtaining a professional certification, you can locate a nearby course at cpr.heart.org.
