A cardiac arrest is the ultimate medical emergency. Without immediate action, the person will die.
Anyone can be affected by cardiac arrest, but sadly, not everyone has the same chance of survival.
We must work to address inequalities in resuscitation, because it’s not fair that who you are, where you’re from or your socio-economic background could affect whether you survive.
CPR is a skill for everyone. During a cardiac arrest, we all have the chance to make a difference. Every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces the chance of survival by 10%.
This Restart a Heart, let’s make sure everyone feels confident, and ready to act when every second counts: www.resus.org.uk/rsah
