Preventing an Unnecessary Life Loss

CPR & AED

Preventing an Unnecessary Life LossHave 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.

Preventing an Unnecessary Life LossYou have no more than 4 minutes to act.88% of cardiac arrests happen outside of

hospital premises92% of these die before reaching a hospitalLess 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)


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 Damage6 to 8 minutes = Probable Damage8 to 10 minutes = Vegetative State (Brain

Death)More than 10 minutes = Physical Death

FACT

Preventing an Unnecessary Life LossWhat 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.

Preventing an Unnecessary Life LossWhat 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.


Knowing CPR and performing it properly, plus the use of AED

can mean the difference between life and death.
