CPR BASICS
4 STEPS TO SAVE A LIFE
More than 350,000 out of hospital cardiac arrests occur each year.
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) can double or triple a person’s chance of survival if administered immediately after cardiac arrest.
However, only approximately 40% of people who go into cardiac arrest outside of the hospital receive the immediate help that they need before professional help arrives.
We’ve mapped out the CPR basics so you can be prepared to help if someone around you experiences cardiac arrest.
