Why should I fit this class into my

busy schedule?

• Anyone can learn CPR!

• 70 percent of Americans feel helpless to

act during a cardiac emergency because

they do not know how to administer

CPR.

• According to AHA statistics home is

exactly where 88 percent of cardiac

arrests occur.

• The life you save with CPR is mostly

likely to be someone you know!

Why Learn CPR?

• Cardiac arrests are more common than you think, and they can happen to anyone at any time.

• Nearly 383,000 out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests occur annually.

• Many victims appear healthy with no known heart disease or other risk factors.

• Sudden cardiac arrest is not the same as a heart attack.

• Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when electrical impulses in the heart become rapid or chaotic, which causes the heart to suddenly stop beating.

• A heart attack occurs when the blood supply to a part of the heart muscle is blocked. A heart attack may cause cardiac arrest.

Why Take

Action?

• Failure to act in a cardiac emergency can lead to unnecessary deaths.

• Effective bystander CPR provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest can double or triple a victim’s chance of survival.

• However, only 32 percent of cardiac arrest victims get CPR from a bystander.

• Sadly, less than eight percent of people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital survive.

• The American Heart Association trains more than 12 million people in CPR annually, to equip Americans with the skills they need to perform bystander CPR.
