Why is CPR important?

CPR is the lifesaving tool that saves victims from cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in many parts of the world. Someone experiencing cardiac arrest may show any of the following signs:

  • Sudden collapse
  • Unresponsiveness
  • Inability to breath (or gasping)
  • Lack of pulse

One great thing about a person performing CPR is they’re protected by Good Samaritan laws. These laws protect the person performing CPR from any financial liability to encourage them to help whenever they can.
