Help Save a Life

Have you got the time?
600 seconds is what you have

When a heart attack occurs it normally doesn’t happen when you are near a hospital and can happen at any time at any place and any where.

When the heart attack strikes it could occur in the home, in the street, the local shop at the check out, the shopping mall, in your car, at your workplace in fact virtually anywhere and for any number of reasons and usually without any prior warning.

• If you a trained first aider then you can help the casualty and apply CPR
• Call the Trained First Aider to the scene if you have one in your workplace
• Call 999 Emergency Services and wait…tick…tock…tick…tock

If you are lucky enough to have a trained First Aider in your work place that is available and can perform CPR then hopefully they can revive the heart attack victim within minutes and then anxiously await the arrival of the Ambulance and Emergency Services.

If you’re not lucky enough to have a trained first aider then you must first phone 999 for help and stand by and wait….and wait….and wait

How much time can you wait?

Extract from a US Police office of media and public relations

Sudden cardiac arrest is the single leading cause of death in the U.S., striking about 1,000 Americans each day. Whether victims survive sudden death depends on how quickly they can be defibrillated. The shorter the time from collapse to defibrillation, the better the chances of survival. If defibrillation is delayed for more than 10 minutes, survival rates drop to virtually zero. Source

Why wait for the EMS [Emergency Medical Services] to arrive when you can actually do something positive to help save a life of your work colleague, partner, friend or just a stranger.

The Government Time targets are becoming increasingly impossible for the Emergency Services to meet especially with increasing traffic congestion in inner cities and in rural remote areas which are particularly vulnerable.

This problem has been compounded by the added problem in Hoax calls and non emergency 999 calls being made to divert an already over stretched emergency service.
