Helping Save More Lives

38%— National average survival for witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. We believe more can, and should, be done to improve survival.

Reliability

Where you live should not determine if you live.

12-fold difference in survival from witnessed cardiac arrest.

Implementation

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Educational Efficiency and local implementation saves lives.

Detailed description of the diagram

Chain of survival diagram:

Step 1: Bystander calls for help and starts CPR
Step 2: Dispatcher activates resources and coaches quality T-CPR
Step 3: First Responders or EMTs provide high-performance CPR and defibrillate
Step 4: Paramedics provide advanced life support
Step 5: Hospital provides post resuscitation care

Resuscitation Excellence

Effective education saves more lives than new clinical breakthroughs.

Traditional resuscitation courses are falling short. Provider’s skills decay over time and this has an impact on patient safety.
