Key Points about CPR training
Saves lives
CPR can significantly increase the chances of survival, especially when performed early.
Prevents brain damage
Immediately starting CPR can help prevent permanent brain damage and organs shutting down. You have a three-minute window before damage starts. Even if someone survives cardiac arrest, they may suffer permanent brain damage if they don't receive enough oxygen and blood flow to the brain.
Reduces response time
Trained individuals can immediately perform CPR, which can significantly reduce response time until professional medical help arrives. Good Samaritan Laws in all 50 states help provide protection for rescuers that perform CPR or use an AED in an effort to save a life.
