If someone is in cardiac arrest, acting quickly can save their life. In this short animation, you'll learn what to do if a person becomes unconscious, isn't responding, and isn't breathing normally.
Many people worry about using a defibrillator, but modern Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are designed so that anyone can use them. They provide clear instructions and will only deliver a shock if one is needed.
Early CPR and defibrillation can significantly improve a person's chance of surviving a cardiac arrest. Knowing what to do could help save a life.
