Neftaly First Aid for Cardiac Arrest

Learn How to Save a Life in Minutes

What Is Cardiac Arrest?

Cardiac arrest happens when the heart suddenly stops beating. This is a life-threatening emergency—without quick action, death can occur within minutes. Unlike a heart attack (which is a circulation problem), cardiac arrest is an electrical problem that causes the heart to stop pumping blood to the brain and body.

Immediate first aid and CPR can double or triple a person’s chance of survival.

Recognizing Cardiac Arrest

Act fast if someone:

• Suddenly collapses or becomes unresponsive
• Is not breathing or only gasping
• Has no pulse
• Appears pale, bluish, or lifeless

✅ What To Do — Step-by-Step

1. Call for Help Immediately

• Dial emergency services (e.g., 112 / 911) or have someone else do it.
• Stay on the line and follow the dispatcher’s instructions.

2. Start CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation)

• Place the person on their back on a firm surface.
• Kneel beside their chest.
• Give chest compressions:
  • Place one hand on top of the other in the center of the chest.
  • Push hard and fast (at least 100–120 compressions per minute).
  • Compress the chest at least 5 cm (2 inches) deep.
  • Allow the chest to fully recoil between compressions.
• Don’t stop until help arrives or an automated external defibrillator (AED) is available.

3. Use an AED (if available)

• Turn it on and follow voice prompts.
• Apply the pads to the person’s bare chest as shown.
• Let the AED analyze the heart rhythm.
• If advised, stand clear and deliver a shock.
• Continue CPR after the shock or if no shock is advised.

Important Tips

• Don’t waste time checking for a pulse if unsure—start CPR.
• Rescue breaths can be added if trained, but hands-only CPR is better than no CPR.
• If you’re not trained, just do chest compressions until help arrives.
