    CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is an emergency procedure performed when the heart stops beating that can double or triple chances of survival from cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest is when the heart stops beating and the person becomes unresponsive, while a heart attack is when blood flow to the heart is blocked but the heart usually continues beating. CPR involves immediately calling 911, checking breathing, providing 30 chest compressions and 2 breaths, and continuing until help arrives.

    CPR
    A CPR Health Infographic

    What is it? 1
    CPR-or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation – is an emergency
    lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops
    beating.

    2 Why is it important?
    Immediate CPR can double or triple chances of survival after
    cardiac arrest. Keeping the blood flow active – even partially
    – extends the opportunity for a successful resuscitation once
    trained medical staff arrive on site.

    Heart Attack versus Cardiac Arrest 3


    Cardiac arrest is an ELECTRICAL problem in which the
    heart stops beating & the person is unresponsive.
    Heart attach is a CIRCULATORY problem in which blood
    flow to the heart is blocked. The heart USUALLY does not
    stop beating during a heart attack.
    MOST heart attacks do not lead to cardiac arrest,
    however some can.
    Call 911 if someone is experiencing a heart attack
    Call 911 & start CPR immediately if someone is
    experiencing cardiac arrest

    4 Basic Steps of CPR


    1. Recognize the emergency (tap and shout)
    2. Activate EMS (call 9-1-1)
    3. Check for breathing
    4. Compressions: Provide 30 compressions (2 inches deep)
    5. Airway: Open the victim’s airway
    6. Breathing: Give 2 breaths
    7. Continue till help arrives

    Interesting Facts 5
    Women and men receive similar CPR assistance within the
    home, but in public 45 percent of men received
    assistance compared to only 39 percent of women.
    Men were 1.23 times more likely to receive bystander CPR
    in public, and their chance of survival was 23 percent
    higher compared to women
