Introduction: Every Second Counts in an Emergency
When someone suffers cardiac arrest, every second is vital. Quick action using CPR and an automated external defibrillator (AED) can double or even triple their chances of survival. Yet, many people lack the confidence or knowledge to act in these critical moments. At RKMS Academy, we provide expert-led CPR and AED training to equip you with life-saving skills that can make all the difference.
The Importance of CPR and AED Training
Cardiac Arrest Happens Suddenly: In the UK, around 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur each year. Without immediate intervention, survival rates drop by 10% for every minute that passes without CPR or defibrillation.
AEDs Are Easy to Use—When You’re Trained: AEDs are designed to guide users through the defibrillation process, but training ensures you can act confidently and quickly in a high-stress situation.
Confidence to Act: Many people hesitate to perform CPR or use an AED due to fear of doing it wrong. Professional training removes this barrier, empowering individuals to take life-saving actions without delay.
Real-Life Impact: CPR and AED Save Lives
Consider these scenarios:
- Workplace Emergency: An office worker collapses due to cardiac arrest. A trained colleague immediately begins CPR and uses an AED until paramedics arrive, saving their life.
- Public Setting: A bystander at a sports event collapses. A trained individual recognises the signs, retrieves an AED, and restores a heartbeat before emergency services arrive.
