In cases of drowning, electrocution, sudden trauma, etc. the cardiovascular or pulmonary systems may shut down, but can be easily restarted, using CPR. If you can restart them fast, it's possible to do so with no residual damage. If you can't, permanent damage and then death follows. Kids are exposed to many of the same dangers as adults, and through CPR may be able to save the life of one of their playmates or family members by quick response.

∙ 11y agoMany CPR certifications do not have an Expire Date, it is usually a Recommended Renewal Date. The basic concepts of CPR remain unchanged, but if you have not practiced or trained in a while, you are likely to forget a step.
Also, by keeping your CPR certification current, certain laws grant liability protection should the victim be unresponsive/unconscious, or if they end up dying at (or on the way to) the hospital.
