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.
???? Why First Aid Matters
- Every minute without CPR reduces survival by 7–10%
- Bystander CPR can keep oxygen flowing to the brain and heart until emergency responders arrive.
