In India alone , thousands of people die from cardiac arrests and timely proper CPR on patients
can help to save many.According to the National Crime Records Bureau, in the last 10 years, from
2012 to 2021, there had been a 54 per cent increase in heart attack deaths
in the country.A cardiac arrest is an unexpected loss of heart function,
breathing and consciousness, in which the heart abruptly stops beating.
Without any proper intervention, this condition could lead to imminent
death.The main symptoms of cardiac arrest are unconsciousness and
unresponsiveness. Besides CPR, the patient, who is suffering a sudden
cardiac arrest, should also be revived with a defibrillator, a small device
called an AED.
However, a person can be revived with the help of a process called
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which is an emergency lifesaving
procedure.The process of doing CPR is important as it can double or even
triple the chances of survival after cardiac arrest. According to the
American Heart Association, CPR is essential as it keeps the blood flow
active and extends the opportunity for a successful resuscitation once
trained medical staff arrive on site.
