Why should you think about being a St. Bernard CPR Superhero?
· Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in adults.
· 85% of all out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur either at work or at
home.
· Approximately 1.25 million people in the U.S. experience a heart
attach each year-that’s one person every 25 seconds! 500,000 of these
attacks result in death.
· A treatment delay of 4 to 5 minutes decreases survival rates by as
much as 40%.
· A delay of 10 minutes or longer results in death 95% of the time.
