CPR & AED — How Quick Action Saves Lives

Introduction

Cardiac emergencies can strike anyone, anywhere, anytime. Whether it’s at home, work, school, or in public spaces, knowing how to act quickly can mean the difference between life and death.

Cardiac arrest claims hundreds of thousands of lives each year, but with immediate CPR and AED intervention, survival rates double or even triple. That’s why CPR and AED training is one of the most essential skills you can learn.

At Quality Health Care Training (QHT), we provide American Heart Association (AHA)-approved CPR/AED certification programs that prepare you to act fast and save lives.


Understanding Cardiac Arrest

Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating, disrupting blood flow to vital organs. Without immediate intervention, brain damage can begin in as little as four minutes, and death can occur within 10 minutes.

Common Causes of Cardiac Arrest

  • ❤️ Heart attack or coronary artery disease
  • ⚡ Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
  • 🚑 Respiratory failure
  • ⚠️ Severe trauma or accidents
  • 🧪 Drowning, electrocution, or overdose

Key takeaway: In cardiac arrest, time = life. Immediate CPR and AED usage dramatically increases survival rates.


Why CPR Training Matters

1. Restores Oxygen Flow

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) keeps oxygen-rich blood circulating to the brain and heart until advanced medical care arrives.

2. Doubles or Triples Survival Chances

According to the American Heart Association, performing CPR immediately after cardiac arrest can double or triple a person’s chances of survival.

3. Builds Confidence in Emergencies

Training ensures you know what to do and when to act. At QHT, our hands-on simulations prepare you for real-life scenarios, helping you respond calmly and effectively.


Why AED Training Is Equally Important

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) delivers an electric shock to restore the heart’s normal rhythm. When combined with CPR, AED usage significantly improves survival outcomes.

How AEDs Help

  • Analyzes the heart rhythm automatically
  • Guides you step-by-step using voice commands
  • Delivers a life-saving shock when needed

At QHT, we train you to confidently locate, operate, and use an AED in emergencies.


The Chain of Survival

Every second counts during cardiac arrest. The Chain of Survival, defined by the AHA, highlights five critical steps:

  1. Recognize cardiac arrest and call emergency services
  2. Start CPR immediately
  3. Use an AED as soon as possible
  4. Provide advanced medical care
  5. Post-cardiac arrest recovery

Our CPR/AED training equips you to act quickly during the first three steps, which are crucial to saving lives.
