CPR/AED/First Aid Training at ETAC, Inc.
CPR – or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation – is an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating. Immediate CPR can double or triple the chances of survival after cardiac arrest.
Every year, 350,000 people die from cardiac arrest in the United States. Big number. Bigger opportunity. With you being trained, we can help bring that number down to zero.
The 6 links in the adult out-of-hospital Chain of Survival are:
- Recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of the emergency response system (calling 9-
1-1 in the US) - Early CPR with an emphasis on chest compressions
- Rapid defibrillation
- Advanced resuscitation by Emergency Medical Services and other healthcare providers
- Post-cardiac arrest care
- Recovery (including additional treatment, observation, rehabilitation, and psychological
support)
A strong Chain of Survival can improve chances of survival and recovery for victims of cardiac arrest.
AEDs can greatly increase a cardiac arrest victim's chances of survival. To minimize the time to defibrillation for cardiac arrest victims, deployment of AEDs should not be limited to only trained people (although training is still recommended).
