CPR / AED Keys to Success in Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Each year 350,00 - 400,000 Americans die as a result of Sudden Cardiac. Arrest (SCA). SCA often occurs without warning.. Ninety-four percent of all SCA events occur when an electrical malfunction in the heart causes an irregular heartbeat (Ventricular Fibrillation). With its pumping action disrupted, the heart is unable to pump blood to the brain, lungs and other organs. The victim loses consciousness and has no pulse. Chances of successful resuscitation for victims of SCA decrease by 7-10% for each minute that CPR and defibrillation is delayed.
