First Aid

Welcome to, “CPR & First Aid.” We will look at different types of first aid procedures. Immediately responding to an emergency with the appropriate first-aid treatment can mean the difference between life and death. You should always act in a safe manner so that you do not put yourself or others in more danger as you wait for professional help.

CPR Facts Infographic

Facts About CPR - About 80% of all out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur at home, so being trained can mean the difference between life and death for a friend or family member. - Effective bystander CPR, if started right away, can double a victim's chance of survival and recovery. - CPR helps maintain vital blood flow to the brain and heart and increases the amount of time that a shock from a AED can be effective. - Around 95% of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching definitive care at the hospital. - -If more people knew CPR, more lives could be saved. - Brain death starts to occur 4 to 6 minutes after someone experiences cardiac arrest if no CPR and defibrillation occurs during that time. - If bystander CPR is not provided, a sudden cardiac arrest victim's chances of survival fall around 10% for every minute of delay until defibrillation. - -There are close to 300,000 emergency medical services treated out-of-hospital cardiac arrests annually in the United States.
