❤️ Cardiac arrest is when the heart doesn’t beat properly because of an electrical malfunction in the heart. The signs of cardiac arrest, as listed by Heart.org, are: 💔 a sudden loss of responsiveness 💔 no normal breathing If you think someone is experiencing cardiac arrest and want to help, check for a response and call 911. If you have first aid and CPR training, heart.org lists further steps to take, including using an AED as soon as one can be obtained and administering CPR.

Take Immediate Action: If someone experiences Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), act swiftly. Ideally, a trained responder should initiate the response. Delegate Tasks: Direct bystanders to assist. Point to one person to call 911 and another to retrieve an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) or first aid kit. Initiate CPR: Begin CPR immediately. By manually pumping the heart and circulating oxygenated blood, you can keep the victim alive until medical assistance arrives. Utilize an AED: Once the AED arrives, use it to administrate a shock, resetting the heart’s rhythm and enabling it to function independently again. Understand Time Sensitivity: Brain damage can occur within 3 minutes of a cardiac event. After 10 minutes, it becomes irreversible. Starting CPR promptly can double or triple the chance of survival. Remember, every second counts during SCA. Empower yourself with the knowledge and skills to respond effectively and potentially save a life!

Dear friends, in case of cardiac arrest, always remember 5 metrics of high-quality CPR performance (AHA 2020): 1.Achieving a rate of 100–120 compressions per minute 2. Compressing the chest to a depth of 2–2.4 inches (5–6 centimeters) 3. Avoiding leaning on the chest to allow for full chest wall recoil after each compression 4. Minimizing pauses in compressions (chest compression fraction > 60%) 5. Avoiding excessive ventilation by maintaining 2 breaths to every 30 compressions without advanced airway or 10 breaths per minute with advanced airway Don't forget to call for help, and make sure that you and your surroundings are safe, and the patient is not responsive, before attempting CPR. So, what's your favorite CPR song?
