Lorem Ipsum

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Youth CPR was founded by a high school student dedicated to empowering young people with lifesaving CPR skills. Our mission is to break barriers in access to CPR education, creating confident, capable responders in every community.

Mission

To remove barriers to lifesaving education by offering free CPR instruction to high school students and young adults, fostering a culture where taking action in an emergency feels natural, not intimidating.

Vision

To build a nationwide network of CPR-trained teens whose impact reaches far beyond the classroom, raising cardiac arrest survival rates through awareness, preparation, and action.

CARDIAC ARREST - TEN IMPORTANT FACTS

1

Over 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur annually in the U.S.

It is one of the leading causes of death worldwide.

2

70% of Cardiac arrests occur at home

(Be prepared to help. Average EMS response time is 7 minutes)

3

Early CPR is one of the strongest predictors of survival
(CPR should ideally begin within 10 seconds of collapse)

4

Proper bystander CPR increases survival 3x.

(Improper CPR is still so much better than no CPR at all)

5

Early defibrillation with AEDs can improve survival from 10% to 70%
(Current bystander AED use is only 12%)

6

Cardiac arrest is reversible when treated quickly with CPR and defibrillation.
(Current survival to discharge from OHCA is ~10%)

7

Each minute delay in CPR, can lead to 10% decrease in survival

(Immediate CPR can be the difference between life and death)

8

Brain damage begins in 4 minutes without Oxygen

(Early CPR restores blood flow and oxygen to brain)

9

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is not the same as a heart attack
(Cardiac arrest – no pulse, unconsciousness. Heart Attack – blocked blood flow)

10

In cardiac arrest, using AED before EMS arrives improves survival significantly
(AEDs are safe to use and can even be used by untrained bystanders)
