“The Rhythm of Life: CPR Anytime” LIFELINE CPR &FIRST-AID

Slide 2: 

Each year, cardiovascular disease and sudden cardiac arrest claim the lives of countless Americans before they reach a hospital. 80 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and at-risk patients are more likely to suffer cardiac arrest. We will learn about the value of CPR education for communities as well as family members and caregivers of at-risk patients. Why Are We Here? MOST

Slide 3: 

We are talking about fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and valued members of the community…

Slide 4: 

335,000 cases of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) each year 95% of SCA victims will die May be first sign of cardiovascular disease and strike without warning Too many! Nearly all

Slide 5: 

Bystander CPR doubles survival rates Increasingly, studies demonstrate the importance of effective CPR compressions in AED success Even the CPR-only units in the Public Access Defibrillation Trial had higher-than-expected survival Recent data suggests more emphasis should be put on reducing time from collapse to start of CPR

Bystander CPR Issues! : 

Bystander CPR Issues! If bystander CPR can markedly improve outcomes, why are survival rates from out-of-hospital SCA still so poor? The low rate of bystander CPR performed is a significant contributor. Studies have documented that in many communities, only 15% to 30% of SCA victims receive bystander CPR before EMS personnel arrive at the scene. Very few

Not getting to the right people! : 

Not getting to the right people! Nearly 80% of cardiac arrests occur in the home The typical bystander is a >45 year old friend/family member who is rarely reached by current CPR courses The typical CPR student is 25-30 years old, trained in the workplace All

How do we get to friends/family members? : 

How do we get to friends/family members? At-home, video-based, self-directed training kit for those who would not normally attend a traditional class

Anytime Research Conclusions : 

Anytime Research Conclusions Educationally effective in training core CPR skills Delivers training to “non-participants” of traditional courses (the presumed “typical bystanders”)

Slide 11: 

CPR. A lifesaving action. Two steps to save a life. Don’t be afraid… Your actions can only help.

What is it? : 

What is it? “Compression-Only CPR” Or “Minimally Interrupted CPR”

Hands-Only CPR Messaging for the Public : 

Hands-Only CPR Messaging for the Public For adults who suddenly collapse, send someone to call 9-1-1 or, if alone, call 9-1-1 yourself. Push hard and fast in the middle of the chest. Don’t be afraid to try it. Your actions can only help.
