Why Learn CPR?

The use of CPR dates all the way back to 1740, yet even today, most Americans don’t know how to perform it. Given properly and immediately to sudden cardiac arrest victims, CPR can save lives.

Cardiac arrest – an electrical malfunction in the heart that causes an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) and disrupts the flow of blood to the brain, lungs and other organs – is a leading cause of death.

• Each year, more than 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States.
• When a person has a cardiac arrest, survival depends on immediately getting CPR from someone nearby.
• Almost 90 percent of people who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrests die.
• CPR, especially if performed in the first few minutes of cardiac arrest, can double or triple a person’s chance of survival.
• 70 percent of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in homes.
• Unfortunately, only about 46% of people who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest get the immediate help that they need before professional help arrives.
