Why Is CPR Knowledge Important?
5,500 Victorians will suffer cardiac arrest each year and only 5% survive. Cardiac arrest does not discriminate, it can occur to anyone, anywhere at any time.
With every minute that passes after cardiac arrest the chance of survival decreases by 10%. If a bystander can provide CPR in those first critical moments they are enhancing the chance of survival significantly.
We’re educating the public on the skills required to perform CPR to enable a bystander to respond without hesitation in an emergency. St John Ambulance is confident that by removing the fear to provide CPR, the number of lives lost to cardiac arrest will decrease remarkably.
