Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) aka Aspirin acts as an antiplatelet agent by irreversibly inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) in platelets.

This blockade prevents the synthesis of thromboxane A2, a potent molecule that stimulates platelet activation and clumping. Because platelets lack a nucleus, they cannot regenerate COX-1, making the antiplatelet effect permanent for the platelet's 7-10 day lifespan.

ASA is considered first line treatment of Acute Coronary Syndromes

Chest Compression Fraction (CCF) is the percentage of total resuscitation time actively spent performing chest compressions during a cardiac arrest. It measures how successfully a rescue team minimizes pauses. The American Heart Association recommends a CCF of at least 60%, with an ideal target of 80% or higher.
