"Prompt resuscitation saves lives, but we can't expect paramedics to be everywhere at once. It's vital that treatment begins on a cardiac arrest patient immediately as this can mean the difference between life and death... GP, writer & broacaster, Mark Porter

What would you
do if a work colleague suffered a cardiac arrest? Would you know what to do to
be able to help save their
life?
When a person suffers a cardiac arrest, prompt
treatment with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is the only effective
treatment. If treatment begins after 5 minutes, there is only a 50/50 chance of
survival.
Cardiac arrest most commonly occurs between 08.00 and
11.00 in the morning, typically when people are at work and yet most UK
businesses still aren’t equipped to deal with this eventuality.
