November is CPR month 2010, be the somebody who saves a life
Seventy per cent of cardiac arrests happen at home, yet only one in seven people know how to perform CPR. Could you perform CPR right now if needed? Knowing these simple techniques could mean the difference between life and death for someone you love.
Permanent brain damage can occur four to six minutes after breathing stops, but the average ambulance response time is nine minutes in large urban centres. Performing CPR immediately following cardiac arrest can double a victim’s chance of survival.
