  2. Don’t be Another Statistic~ • Cardiac Arrest is rapidly becoming the leading cause of death in America. • Once the heart stops its function, the brain may survive without oxygen for up to 4 min. • Unfortunately, EMS may take 6,8, or even 10 min. Depending on your location. • CARDIO (heart) • PULMONARY (lungs) • RESUSCITATION (revive) • *Artificial heartbeat CPR Timeline: 0-4 min. brain damage unlikely 4-6 min. brain damage possible 6-10 min. brain damage probable Over 10 min. probable brain death

  3. Why Important? • CPR may not SAVE the victim, but if started within 4 minutes of cardiac arrest & defibrillationis provided within 10 minutes, a person has a 40% chance of survival.

  4. How to check for responsiveness? • Adult/Child: Tap and shout, “Are you ok”? • Infants: Tap feet and gently tap chest or shoulders. • If there is NO response, call 911 IMMEDIATELY and check the victim for circulation.
