Why is Bystander CPR Important?
According to the American Heart Association, more than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of a hospital setting every year in the U.S. A staggering 90 percent of people who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest do not survive. But when CPR is performed immediately upon cardiac arrest, survival chances double or even triple. Put simply: bystander CPR saves lives!
