When a cardiac emergency happens outside of a hospital, survival depends on a strong Chain of Survival. And it starts with YOU. π
The first three links in the American Heart Association's Cardiac Chain of Survival rely on bystanders stepping up before emergency responders arrive:
π Recognizing the emergency and calling 911
π« Providing high-quality CPR
β‘οΈ Using an AED
From there, EMS and care teams take over to provide life support and guide survivor recovery. π
Let's work together to keep the chain strong! πͺ
