how important basic CPR and AED knowledge can make difference in average person life

2. Preventing an Unnecessary Life Loss
 Have you ever witnessed a family member, friend,
colleague or even a stranger collapse right in front of
you and stop breathing?
 What did you do?
 Was he saved? Did he completely recover?
 Did you know you could have saved his life?
 It takes a cool head, steady hands, and most
importantly the right training to have saved his life.

3. Preventing an Unnecessary Life Loss
 You have no more than 4 minutes to act.
 88% of cardiac arrests happen outside of hospital
premises
 92% of these die before reaching a hospital
 Less than 4% of those who reach a hospital make it
unharmed.
 75% of those suffering a sudden cardiac arrest survive
unharmed if arrest is witnessed by a trained person
(that is, you could have saved 3 out of 4 lives if you
only knew how)

4. Preventing an Unnecessary Life Loss
Do you know that in case of a cardiac arrest, if the
correct action is taken within:
 0 to 4 minutes = Full recovery
 4 to 6 minutes = Possible Damage
 6 to 8 minutes = Probable Damage
 8 to 10 minutes = Vegetative State (Brain Death)
 More than 10 minutes = Physical Death
FACT

What is cardiac arrest?
 A cardiac arrest is when the heart suddenly stops beating.
 A person with a cardiac arrest collapses, stops breathing
and doesn’t react to your voice or touch.
 The victim may or may not have diagnosed heart disease.
 The time and mode of death are unexpected. It occurs
instantly or shortly after symptoms appear.
 Cardiac arrest is a silent killer that could attack a family
member, co-worker or a friend anywhere at any age without
any symptoms or history of health problems.

6. Preventing an Unnecessary Life Loss
What is CPR?
 CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
 Proper CPR is performed with alternating chest
compressions with mouth-to-mouth breathing.
 This process helps push oxygen into the lungs so that it can
go to the brain and keep a person alive.
 CPR can provide the means to keep a person alive long
enough to receive professional medical attention.
What is AED?
 An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable
device that checks the heart rhythm and can send an
electric shock to the heart to try to restore a normal
rhythm.

7. Preventing an Unnecessary Life Loss
Knowing CPR and performing it properly,
plus the use of AED
can mean the difference between
life and death.
