Why CPR Matters 🚑

CPR is used when someone’s heart or breathing has stopped. It keeps oxygen moving to the brain and vital organs until paramedics arrive. Every minute without CPR lowers survival chances, making bystander CPR critical.

💡 Think of it this way: Your brain is like a phone battery—without oxygen, it runs out of charge fast. CPR is like using a power bank to temporarily keep it going before it can be plugged in.

What Happens During Cardiac Arrest?

When the heart stops beating, blood stops flowing. That means no oxygen to the brain and organs.

Without oxygen:
⏳ 4-6 minutes – Brain cells start dying.
⏳ 10+ minutes – Severe brain damage or death.

🚨 CPR helps buy time! It keeps oxygen flowing until medical help arrives, preventing permanent damage.

CPR: A Proven Lifesaver

Performing CPR can double or even triple the chance of survival. Studies show that early CPR intervention significantly improves outcomes.

✅ Keeps blood circulating
✅ Maintains oxygen flow to the brain
✅ Gives the best chance of survival before help arrives
