Studies show that effective CPR right away improves survival from cardiac arrest. Most cardiac arrest happens outside the hospital, where bystander CPR is important. The bystanders’ actions make up three of the four links in the “Chain of Survival”. The first link is early access or detection- call 911. The second link is early CPR. The third link is early defibrillation- use the AED, and the fourth link is early advanced care- provided by the fire department. Our fire department members have realized the benefits of bystander assistance on many occasions.

For every minute of cardiac arrest, a person’s chances of recovery decreases by 10% without CPR. You can learn to bridge the gap between notifying 911 and the fire departments arrival sometimes increasing survival chances by up to 50%. You can make a difference, and the first step is learning CPR. You never know when you might need to use the CPR skills you learn for someone you know or even one of your loved ones.
