Cardiac arrest can happen without notice, and with quick action you can be a lifesaver.
Here's what to do in different situations if you see someone go into cardiac arrest:
👤If you are alone: Call 911 immediately and begin CPR until emergency services arrive.
👥If bystander help is available: Have one person perform CPR while the other is on the phone with 911. Periodically switch roles to prevent exhaustion. Continue until emergency services arrive and can take over.
An automated external defibrillator (AED), if available, can also be used in both situations.
