Understanding The Chain Of Survival

Developed in 1991, the American Heart Association "Chain of Survival" is a series of interventions which, when implemented in a timely manner, can greatly increase the potential for survival of Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

Agonal Breaths | When Breathing Isn't.

Agonal breaths or respirations are, in essence, the body's last-ditch effort to deliver oxygen to the vital organs. When a victim of cardiac arrest's heart ceases to pump blood due to a disorganized rhythm, the breathing center in the brain begins to starve for oxygen rich blood. This is called "ischemia."

Keep Calm and Defibrillate

The reason your heart beats properly is due to a beautiful design and perfect timing. Imagine you could design a spark plug with a built in timer that emits an electrical spark at a set rate. Let's say this plug's timer is set for one second. So every second, this spark plug will emit a spark unless another plug nearby does so first. If a neighboring plug sparks first, the original spark plug will simply carry the electrical impulse to the next plug and restart it's own timer. We'll call the...
