In a cardiac emergency, every second counts, and the person standing next to the victim is their best chance of survival.
Here’s what we want everyone in Gwinnett to remember:
1. Push hard and fast in the center of the chest. Aim for 100 to 120 compressions per minute.
2. Don’t worry about perfection. Just start. Doing something is far better than doing nothing.
3. If someone collapses and isn’t breathing normally, begin CPR immediately. Then call 911 or have someone call for you.
4. Follow the dispatcher’s instructions. They’ll walk you through every step until help arrives.
5. Use an AED if one is available. They’re simple, safe, and designed for anyone to use.
When CPR starts before firefighters and paramedics arrive, survival rates double or even triple.
You can be the difference.
