Seconds count in a cardiac arrest
- clock1
9 in 10 people
won’t survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
It’s time for Australians to join together.
1. CALL 000
2. BEGIN CPR COMPRESSIONS
3. USE AN AED IF ONE BECOMES AVAILABLE
Every year around 30,000 Australians and New Zealanders suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Every minute a patient is in cardiac arrest, not receiving CPR or AED shock, chances of survival drop by 10%.
Eighty percent of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in our homes.
Would you know what to do if you were the only one around and someone had a Sudden Cardiac Arrest? Most don’t.
After 10 minutes without intervention the damage caused by cardiac arrest is nearly irreversible.
