CPR & More
CPR, or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, is a crucial emergency lifesaving procedure performed when someone’s heart stops beating. According to the American Heart Association, over 350,000 people die of sudden cardiac arrest outside of the hospital every year in the US. Fortunately, immediate CPR can triple the chances for survival. Knowing CPR means you can help a loved one right away – even before emergency services can arrive.
