  2. Life-Saving Steps in the Event of a Heart Attack or Sudden Cardiac Arrest In recent years, the prevalence of heart attacks has risen dramatically. The Indian Heart Association reports that the urban population is three times more vulnerable than those living in rural, with 50% of all heart attacks in Indians occurring in those under the age of 50 and 25% occurring in those under the age of 40. Given these sobering numbers, it's wise to be familiar with some measures or steps that could prove useful in the event of a heart attack. Common symptoms of a heart attack include:- • Chest pain like pressure, squeezing or fullness. • Shoulder, arm, neck, jaw, back, and abdominal pain that comes and goes for a few minutes or longer. • Wet, cold perspiration • Diarrhoea and vomiting • Feeling weak or faint • Anxiety\s.

  3. Discomfort or anxiety • Extreme weariness for no apparent reason, especially in females and the elderly. • An uncomfortable feeling of numbness, aching, or tingling, most commonly in the left arm but also occasionally in the right. • Trouble breathing, wheezing, or choking. Here are some Life-Saving Steps in the Event of a Heart Attack or Sudden Cardiac Arrest • In an emergency call ambulance • If you experience these warning signs, get medical help immediately. Have a friend or neighbour take you to the hospital if you can't call an ambulance. Don't get behind the wheel until you have to. Driving puts you and others in danger since your health can worsen while you're behind the wheel. • While you wait for aid, you can chew and swallow an aspirin. • The anticoagulant effects of aspirin are well-documented. It may lessen the amount of damage done to the heart during a heart attack if given at the onset. Those who are allergic to aspirin or have been advised not to take it by their doctor should avoid it.

  4. If you have been prescribed nitro-glycerine and experience symptoms consistent with a heart attack, take it as recommended and call an ambulance immediately. • If the victim is unresponsive and you can't detect a pulse, call an ambulance and start CPR immediately to keep blood circulating while emergency personnel arrive. • Applying maximum pressure to the centre of the chest -100 to 120 compressions per minute is recommended. If the person is unconscious and an automated external defibrillator (AED) is nearby, use it following the device's instructions.

  5. A Guide to Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CRP) • Demand that the individual relaxes while lying flat on their back on a hard surface. • Put the palm of one hand over the middle of the person's chest, right above the breastbone, and rest the other hand on top of the first. • Make sure your elbows are straight while you use your full weight to squeeze the person's chest by roughly 5-6 centimetres. • While waiting for emergency medical help, perform compressions at a pace of 100 to 120 per minute. • After performing chest compressions, a CPR-trained individual should attempt to open the victim's airway by gently tipping back the victim's head and pushing the chin forward in preparation for mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

  6. First, perform it while closing the nostrils of the person. The next step is to give the person some air by placing your mouth near the person's mouth. Take caution not to overdo it with the force of your breaths or the speed at which you breathe. One cycle of CPR typically consists of thirty chest compressions followed by two rescue breaths. Do this repeatedly until aid arrives or the individual wakes up.
