Cardiac arrest is a medical emergency that can lead to death. With urgent medical care to restart the heart, survival is possible.

The course also covers conveying accurate incident details when handing the casualty over to EMERGENCY SERVICES, how to review an INCIDENT, to recognise any PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACTS on self and other rescuers, to seek help if required and for improvement of own personal skills and response times.
