CPR Facts
• The most common cause of death from a heart
attack in adults is ventricular fibrillation.
• Ventricular fibrillation:
• A disturbance in the electrical rhythm of the heart
• Can be treated with defibrillation (applying an
electrical shock to the chest)
• If a defibrillator is not readily available, brain
death will occur in less than 10 minutes.

CPR Facts
• During cardiac arrest, the heart stops pumping blood.
• CPR is one way of buying time until normal heart
function is restored or a defibrillator becomes available.
• CPR provides artificial breathing and circulation,
keeping oxygenated blood flowing to the heart and brain.
• The earlier you give CPR, the greater the chance of
success.
• CPR is a combination of rescue breathing and chest
compressions.
