All About CPR

WHO CAN YOU SAVE WITH CPR?

The life you save with CPR is mostly likely to be a loved one.

*Four out of five cardiac arrests happen at home.

*Statistically speaking, if called on to administer CPR in an emergency, the life you save is likely to be someone at home: a child, a spouse, a parent or a friend.

*African-Americans are almost twice as likely to experience cardiac arrest at home, work or in another public location than Caucasians, and their survival rates are twice as poor as for Caucasians.
