American Heart Association (CPR guidance)

What it is

The American Heart Association authors the CPR and emergency cardiovascular care guidelines used across US training and clinical practice, and runs the course and certification programs built on them.

What it covers

Infant, child, and adult CPR guidance, and the course network through which a parent can actually get trained.

How to verify

Guidelines and course locators are published at heart.org and cpr.heart.org.

How SafeMama uses it

Strictly as a referral: the Allergy & Emergency Prep overlay points parents to a course rather than teaching CPR on the page. This is the most restricted source in the registry — commercial use prohibited, redistribution prohibited — so the link-out is not a stylistic preference but the only permitted use.

Limitations / conflicts

AHA sells the training its guidelines define, which is disclosed where relevant. More practically: CPR is a psychomotor skill, and a web page is a poor substitute for hands-on training, so referral is also the honest editorial answer.
