According to the American Heart Association, each year in the U.S. there are approximately 359,400 Emergency Medical Services assessed cardiac arrests outside of a hospital setting and on average, less than 10% of victims survive. As a bystander of such an event, you can increase these chances of survival by performing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Every minute without CPR survival rate decreases by 10%.
