Care for Cardiac Arrest
Care for Cardiac Arrest
- CPR is the initial care until a defibrillator is made available.
- V-fib and V-tach can be corrected with defibrillation, but time is critical.
- For every minute that defibrillation is delayed, victim’s chance for survival decreases by 7% to 10%.
- Provide CPR until a defibrillator is available.
