What is cardiac arrest?
Heart and Stroke Foundation
Cardiac arrest (or sudden cardiac death) is an emergency. When a person stops breathing and the heart stops beating, that person is experiencing cardiac arrest. (It is not a heart attack, which occurs when the blood supply to the heart is slowed or stopped because of a blockage.)
What is CPR?
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure involving chest compressions (pressing down on the chest) and artificial respiration (rescue breathing). It has the power to restore blood flow to someone suffering cardiac arrest, keeping them alive until an ambulance arrives.
Why get trained?
Once the heart stops pumping, seconds count. For every minute that passes without help, a person's chance of surviving drops by about 10%. But if you know how to respond to a cardiac arrest, a person's odds of survival and recovery may increase by 30% or more. Learning CPR is easy and inexpensive - just a few hours could make an important difference in someone's life. Since most cardiac arrests happen at home, you could be saving the life of a family member or friend. If you would like to learn CPR at home go to www.heartandstroke.ca website and enter "CPR Anytime Family and Friends" for more information.
