Cobb public libraries to hold medical emergency training

Submitted information:

Cobb Fire and Emergency Services staff will host seven basic medical emergency training programs at Cobb County public libraries in late September through October. This free training is designed to help residents be prepared and confident to handle medical emergencies.
 
There will be two segments of about 90 minutes each. The first session, Family and Friends CPR, will cover hands-only CPR, how to occlude severed arteries, using AEDs and basic first aid. The second session, Stop the Bleed, will teach how to save lives in emergencies involving uncontrolled bleeding.
