American Heart Association Instructor Demonstrates CPR

- Every year, over 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the U.S., with a 90% fatality rate if CPR is not performed promptly, highlighting the importance of widespread CPR proficiency.
- These efforts imply that increasing CPR knowledge and confidence in communities could significantly improve survival outcomes for cardiac arrest victims.
