Why #CPRCertification Matters
Most cardiac arrests happen at home (about 72%), so the life saved is often a loved one.
Immediate CPR can double or triple survival, while each minute without #CPR drops survival by 7–10%.
Over 350,000 out-of-hospital #cardiacarrests occur annually in the U.S.

🫀 #CardiacArrests are caused by malfunctions in the heart's electrical system. They're very dangerous, especially when they happen out-of-hospital.

New research found that high potassium levels after a cardiac arrest was associated with low survival, and could act as a prognostic biomarker.

New to B.C.’s school curriculum this fall: CPR, naloxone, cardiac arrest devices Grade 10 students required to learn first aid starting in September, and every B.C. school will have medical kits to treat cardiac arrests and reverse overdoses.
