Time is of the essence during a cardiac arrest. After Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has occurred, the chances of survival decreases 7 to 10 per cent for every passing minute without chest compressions and defibrillation.
Knowing basic life-saving skills and responding early with chest compressions and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) Heart Restarter can greatly increase a person's chance of survival. Immediate application of chest compressions and an AED can lead to survival rates as high as 50 per cent.
So whether it is your loved ones, or anybody who needs immediate attention, it is best to be equipped to help in what could be a life-and-death situation.
