In today’s times, specialty hospitals and medical advancements are of no use if emergency service does not reach people on time. More than 6,60,000 deaths occur every year in India alone as a result of cardiac arrest. The survival rate is less than 1% as emergency medical services do not reach on time and hence, this reason alone accounts for greater than 50% of cardio related deaths in India.
The risk of cardiac death in adults is estimated to be 1 per 1,000 adults of 35 years of age and above per year. About 75 percent to 80 percent of all out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen at home. Hence, being trained to perform CPR & First Aid can make a difference between life and death for a victim as the life you save is likely to be your loved one: a child, a spouse, a parent or a friend.
HOW CARDIO-PULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR) CAN SAVE LIFE
Mostly the heart stops beating or the lungs stop functioning due to non-availability of oxygen to the brain. The brain can survive only 6 minutes without oxygen. Beyond this limit, the cells of brain start dying. The destruction of these cells is an irreversible process and brain death occurs when a critical number of cells die.
If a victim has to survive, it is very important to ensure that the oxygen supply to the brain is restored within 4-6 minutes. Unfortunately, in today’s setup it is difficult to obtain medical care within this short span of time. This is where CPR comes into picture.
The common medical emergencies that require CPR in the event of cardiac arrest are:
- Heart attack
- Drowning
- Choking
- Electrocution
- Poisoning
- Road Traffic Accident
The sooner CPR is administered; greater are the chances of survival of the victim.
