ECC (Emergency Cardiovascular Care)

Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) refers to the immediate medical response and actions taken to treat cardiac emergencies, such as heart attacks and cardiac arrest. It involves techniques like cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to restore normal heart function. ECC is designed to increase survival chances by providing timely and effective care before professional medical help arrives. Training and awareness for ECC are crucial for bystanders, as their quick response can significantly impact a victim’s outcome.
