Lets check out the Heart Association's Chain of Survival:
The first link within the Chain of Survival is Early Access.
Imagine you're at the airport expecting a plane, sitting in your workplace,or eating at a restaurant, or sitting in your workplace. Suddenly, the person sitting next to you slumps over. you opt to take action and check on the person, however he or she will not respond to you. What do you have to do?
Call 9-1-1! This is the primary link in the Chain of Survival. it's referred to as "Early Access" due to the fact that seeking emergency care as quickly as possible is vital to SCA (Sudden Cardiac Arrest) survival. each minute counts.
Could you recognize the symptoms of SCA?
Loss of consciousness
Unresponsiveness
Lack of pulse
Lack of breathing
SCA isn't the same as a heart attack; however, a victim of either condition needs an immediate 911 call.
