Experts Share Guide to Save Lives During Cardiac Arrest
If someone's heart stops, they need help fast!
First, check if they are awake or breathing.
If not, start chest compressions: push hard and fast in the middle of their chest like a fast song's beat.
Also, call for help!
If there's a special machine called an AED, use it - it can give a shock to restart the heart.
Don't worry about being perfect; doing something is important.
Keep doing CPR until the ambulance arrives.
Cardiac arrest requires immediate action for survival.
Start chest compressions if a person is unresponsive and not breathing.
Call emergency services for help as soon as possible.
