Why CPR Training Is Essential
Events like this show how quickly a medical emergency can become critical. While traumatic injuries are unpredictable, immediate CPR and AED use can significantly increase survival chances during cardiac arrest or sudden collapse.
When bystanders are trained, they can take action in those crucial first minutes before first responders arrive.
