Know
the Facts!
Brain
damage
can start to occur in just 4 to 6 minutes after
the heart stops pumping blood. Death may be prevented if
the sudden cardiac arrest victim receives immediate bystander
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation within a few
minutes after collapse. CPR consists of
mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing and chest compressions. It can help
keep blood flowing to the heartand brain until emergency help arrives.

According
to the American
Heart
Association,
if no bystander CPR is provided, a victim’s chances of
survival are reduced by 7 to 10 percent with every minute
of delay until defibrillation. The cardiac arrest survival
rate
is only about 5
percent if a system for providing early
defibrillation is not present in a community.
