Deep dives
Importance of CPR in Saving Lives
Cardiac arrests can happen to anyone at any time, and receiving immediate CPR can double or triple survival rates. Unfortunately, only about 40% of people who experience cardiac arrest receive CPR from a bystander. Teaching CPR is crucial in empowering individuals to respond effectively in emergency situations. CPR evangelists like Katherine Y. Brown, founder of Learn CPR America, emphasize the importance of spreading awareness about CPR and its life-saving potential. By teaching hands-only CPR, more people can be encouraged to take action without feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of traditional CPR techniques.
