Free CPR Training Offered at Globe Life Park in Arlington In a medical emergency, every second counts. Do you know basic CPR or medical assistance techniques that could save someone's life? On Wednesday, May 22, the community was invited to learn compression-only CPR and how to stop bleeding in an emergency at the four main entrances at Globe Life Park in Arlington. The free event was hosted by local emergency medical service provider American Medical Response (AMR), in collaboration with the Arlington Fire Department and the Texas Rangers Baseball Club. Compression-only CPR allows bystanders to keep life-saving blood flowing through a victim's body just by pressing on the chest in a hard, fast rhythm. Bystanders who provide compression-only CPR can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim's chances of survival. For more information about AMR's CPR Challenge, please visit www.amr.net/CPR.
