What Is Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)? by Chikade(m): 5:38pm On Dec 21, 2016 |
Knowing what to do in the case of an
emergency can be the difference
between life and death.
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a
condition where the heart stops beating
unexpectedly. SCA can cause chaos in the
heart, stopping blood from pumping
around the body. SCA can occur at any
time and can affect anyone regardless of
age, gender, health condition and
ethnicities
Each year in the UK, there are
approximately 60,000 out of hospital
cardiac arrests each year. In 2013 alone,
the emergency medical services
attempted to resuscitate 28,00 people of
which only 8.6% survived.
Educating more people about how to
respond when someone is suffering from
SCA can really help increase the
likelihood of survival. Without
immediate treatment, 90-95 percent of
SCA victims will die.
This infographic from defibshop will
teach you everything you need to know
about SCA, including what exactly SCA is,
and what steps are needed to help
someone suffering from SCA. The correct
CPR and resuscitation techniques are
also included. |
