Helping Save Lives with Pre-Hospital CPR

Strengthening the Chain of Survival

A vital component of the chain of survival is ensuring that first responders are well-trained to respond effectively in time-critical emergencies.

Chain of Survival for pre-hospital and EMS personnel

"High-performance CPR is so important because it literally suspends the dying process. When we train and perform on perfect rate, depth and recoil, it keeps the brain and the heart and the rest of the body alive until further care can happen."

- Ann Doll, Executive Director, Resuscitation Academy Foundation

One minute after sudden cardiac arrest, brain cells begin to die without oxygen. With EMS response times averaging 7–12 minutes or longer, it is crucial for EMS personnel and first responders to master high-performance CPR.

This specialized training enables responders to provide effective care quickly, significantly improving survival rates. Early recognition of cardiac arrest and the implementation of high-performance CPR techniques are vital for achieving optimal patient outcomes. Prioritizing this training for EMS and first responders is essential for saving lives.

Building High-Performance CPR Teams

Empowering first responders to build high-performance CPR teams is crucial for strengthening the chain of survival in emergency situations. By enhancing CPR competence and teamwork, your team can improve patient outcomes and ensure that every second counts.
