Benefits of Knowing CPR in an Emergency and Having an AED
Jan
The collapse of football player Damar Hamlin was a reminder of the benefits of knowing CPR in an emergency.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique that’s useful in many emergencies in which someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped.
Despite recent gains, less than 40% of adults receive layperson-initiated CPR, and fewer than 12% have an AED applied before EMS arrival. A survey found that an estimated 65 percent of people had CPR training, but only 18 percent were up to date on their training.
