Thousands of people die every year from cardiac arrest in Ireland with approximately 70 per cent of those happening at home in front of a loved one.
Brigid Sinnott, Resuscitation Manager at the Irish Heart Foundation says if someone knows CPR, they can start performing compressions quickly, doubling or even tripling a person s chances of survival. In 2018, 176 people survived a cardiac arrest because of the actions of somebody who knew CPR. If an extra 100,000 people learn CPR, we could potentially save an extra 60 lives a year on average.
