CPR - 5 Minutes to save a Life Sudden Cardiac Arrest(SCA) kills more than 6,00,000 (6 lakh) people every year. Survival rate for SCA is less than 5%.
However, if the patient is provided with CPR Cadio PulmonaryResuscitation and receives defibrillationwithin 5 minutes their survival rate goes up to more than 50%. If your organization has more than 100 people or if you are one of the key members of the top management, you should consider procuring an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED)for your workplace and training your employees on CPR.
Continuous Chest Compression CPR, a hands-only CPR method that doubles a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. It’s easy and does not require mouth-to-mouth contact, making it more likely bystanders will try to help, and it was developed at the University of Arizona College of Medicine.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a condition in which the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating. When this happens, blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs. SCA usually causes death if it's not treated within minutes. Sudden Cardiac Arrest isNOT a heart attack. The heart has an internal electrical system that controls the rate and rhythm of the heartbeat. Problems with the electrical system can cause abnormal heart rhythms that lead to SCA. Most SCAs happen in people who appear healthy and have no known heart disease or other risk factors for SCA.
Ninety-five percent of people who have SCA die from it—most within minutes. Rapid treatment of SCA with a defibrillator can be lifesaving. A defibrillator is a device that sends an electric shock to the heart to try to restore its normal rhythm. Automated external defibrillators (AEDs), which often are found in public places like airports and office buildings, can be used by bystanders to save the lives of people who are having SCA. Ordinary people and youngsters can easily operate an AED with minimal training. News
