               CPR Facts!

  • 70% of cardiac arrests happen at home
  • In most Canadian cities, the average ambulance response time is more than 8 minutes
  • The heart stops beating within one minute after breathing stops
  • Permanent brain damage is likely to occur within 4 - 6 minutes after breathing stops
  • CPR helps maintain vital blood flow to the heart & brain
  • CPR increases the amount of time that a shock from a defibrillator (AED) can be effective
  • Less than 5% of people who have a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital survive without immediate resusciation efforts
  • Few attempts at resuscitation are successful if CPR and defibrillation are not provided within a few minutes of collapse
  • If bystander CPR is not provided, a cardiac arrest victim's chances of survival fall 7 - 10% for every minute defibrillation is delayed
  • CPR and AED's SAVE LIVES!
