Training Programs
Your brain dies in 4 to 8 minutes without oxygen, and the average response time for medics to arrive on scene is 4 to 10 minutes.
CPR can help keep your brain alive until help arrives. About 75 to 80 percent of cardiac arrests happen at home, so being trained to perform CPR can mean the difference between life and death for a loved one. If bystander CPR is not provided, a sudden cardiac arrest victim’s chances of survival fall 7 percent to 10 percent for every minute of delay until defibrillation. Effective bystander CPR, provided immediately after cardiac arrest, can double a victim’s chance of survival. Cardiac arrest occurs twice as frequently in men compared to women.
