Cardiac Emergency Response

Cardiac emergency response involves quickly recognizing signs of a heart-related crisis, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting, and taking immediate action. It includes calling emergency services, performing CPR if the person is unresponsive and not breathing normally, and using an automated external defibrillator (AED) if available. The goal is to maintain blood flow and oxygen to vital organs until professional medical help arrives. Prompt response can significantly improve survival chances and reduce potential damage to the heart and brain. Training in these skills is vital for effective reaction during such emergencies.
