Cardiac Arrest Survival

Cardiac arrest survival refers to the chance of a person living after their heart suddenly stops pumping blood effectively. Immediate action, like calling emergency services and performing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), can significantly improve their chances of survival. Using an automated external defibrillator (AED) to deliver an electric shock can restart the heart. The faster these interventions happen, the higher the likelihood of survival and reducing the risk of brain damage. Quick response is crucial because, with each minute delay, the chances of survival decrease significantly.
