So thank you for choosing us to help you be "always ready".
A Few Important Terms as Defined by the American Heart Association
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
According to the American Heart Association's (AHA) BLS: Basic Life Support Provider Manual, CPR is "a lifesaving emergency procedure for a victim who has signs of cardiac arrest (ie, unresponsiveness, no normal breathing, and no pulse). The 2 key components of CPR are chest compressions and breaths."
Cardiac Arrest
"The abrupt loss of heart function in a person who may or may not have been diagnosed with heart disease. It can come on suddenly or in the wake of other symptoms. Cardiac arrest is often fatal if appropriate steps aren't taken immediately."
Defibrillation
"Interrupting or stopping an abnormal heart rhythm by using controlled electrical shocks."
