Why Resuscitation and First Aid Matters
Resuscitation and first aid are essential life-saving techniques that can make a significant difference in the outcome of an emergency. When someone experiences a cardiac arrest or other life-threatening situation, having someone trained in resuscitation and first aid can improve their chances of survival and minimize the risk of long-term disability.
- According to the American Heart Association, immediate CPR and defibrillation can increase the chance of survival from cardiac arrest by up to 74%.
- The National Trauma Institute estimates that trained first responders can reduce the risk of death from traumatic injuries by up to 30%.
By investing in resuscitation and first aid training, individuals and organizations can empower themselves to respond confidently and effectively to emergencies, saving lives and making a positive impact on their communities.
