When sudden cardiac arrest strikes, time is of the essence. A victim’s best chance for survival is a rescuer who administers high-quality CPR and uses an automated external defibrillator (AED) before emergency services arrive.
Although CPR remains critically important during this pandemic, it must be performed safely. You can keep yourself safe and help save a life by using personal protective equipment and performing hands-only CPR, as advised by the American Heart Association (AHA) and European Resuscitation Council (ERC).
