• Bystander CPR linked to improved survival for cardiac arrest victims – According to the American Heart Association (AHA), 89% of people who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest die because they don’t receive immediate CPR from someone on the scene. Most Americans (70%) feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they don’t know how to administer CPR or they’re afraid of hurting the victim. Hands-only CPR, without mouth-to-mouth, has been recommended by the AHA since 2008 for lay bystanders if the victim is an adult. The recommendation has been to call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do that) and push hard and fast on the center of the patient’s chest until a trained professional comes. Hands-Only CPR has been shown to be as effective as conventional CPR for sudden cardiac arrest at home, at work or in public. It can double or even triple a victim’s chance of survival.
