Important demo on TODAY of CPR and AED use and great convo with Damar Hamlin and Nancy Brown.
More than 350,000 Americans suffer a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital every year.
- 70% happen at home.
- Only 10% survive – in part because only 40% of them receive CPR or have someone use an AED before EMS arrives.
CPR can double or even triple a person’s chances of surviving – the chance for survival drops 10 percent for every minute that passes without CPR or using an AED

Damar Hamlin opens up to TODAY about his CPR survival story
