November is CPR month in Canada

"70% of cardiac arrests happen in the home. Would you know what to do? Shortness of breath, pain, nausea, sweating and fear are all signs and symptoms of cardiac arrest. Taking immediate action can save a life. If your child, spouse, parent or neighbour’s heart stopped beating, would you know what to do? In Canada the average paramedic response time is eight to twelve minutes, but permanent brain damage is likely to occur within four to six minutes after breathing stops. Performing immediate CPR doubles their survival rate. Doubles. November is CPR month. If you have never been trained in first aid or CPR, now is the time to learn how to save a life. Learning CPR is simple. Take a cost-effective four hour course. If you previously received CPR training, take a refresher course and learn how recent research has made it even easier to learn, remember and perform CPR" - Canadian Red Cross
