How Does CPR Save Lives?

  • Chances of surviving sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) decrease by 7 to 10 percent with every minute that passes if no CPR is provided.
  • Public trained in CPR and well-organized public access defibrillation programs can help increase survival rates.
  • Effective CPR can drastically increase the survival rate of a person experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest.
