Long Live CPR

Anyone need BLS/ FIRST AID CPR send them my way. Pleasant River Ambulance Service Epping Volunteer Fire District @

A person of any age needs CPR if they:

Collapse.
Don’t respond.
Aren’t breathing.
Don’t have a pulse.
More than half of all people who have cardiac arrest outside of a hospital don’t get help right away. If you receive CPR right after you go into cardiac arrest, your chance of survival can double or even triple.

What is CPR?
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a way to save the life of someone who’s in cardiac arrest (when someone’s heart is no longer able to pump blood) by attempting to restart their heart. It’s a fairly simple technique that anyone can learn. The key part of CPR is chest compressions, which keep blood flowing to vital organs until a regular heartbeat returns. Breaths of oxygen bring more oxygen into the person with cardiac arrest.

Severe oxygen deprivation can cause life-threatening problems including coma and seizures. After 10 minutes without oxygen , brain death occurs. Brain death means there is no brain activity. A person needs life support measures like a mechanical ventilator to help them breathe and stay alive.

Keeping the blood flow active – even partially – extends the opportunity for a successful resuscitation once trained medical staff arrive on site.

You Are More Likely To Need To Give CPR To A Loved One Than Stranger
You may think: what are the chances you’d ever need to use CPR? People ask this because they only envision themselves giving cardiopulmonary resuscitation to a stranger when they just happen to be there to save the day.

But the truth is that you’re much more likely to end up giving CPR to someone you know as a parent, child, or friend. It’s great when you can be there to help a stranger. But your loved ones are the people who most often benefit from your learning CPR.

88% of cardiac arrests will occur in someone’s home.

11. Around 22% of People Who Get CPR Out of Hospital Survive to Discharge
This is according to ScienceDaily. It may not sound like much. But it’s more than double the 8.8% that survive without CPR when the heart stops beating outside the hospital.

And the survival rate is slightly better than the 17% to 20% chance that that same person would survive if they’d gone into cardiac arrest in a hospital.
