Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)

• Sudden loss of heart function

• Victim collapses, is unconscious, not breathing and without circulation

• Death is imminent without rapid defibrillation



SCA - What it is

• The heart has a unique electrical system that keeps the heart muscles pumping in rhythm, which delivers blood to the body. Heart

ElectricalSystem



SCA & Ventricular Fibrillation

• When the heart’s electrical system is interrupted or malfunctions, the heart beats abnormally fast and chaotic (a condition known as ventricular fibrillation)

• Heart cannot pump blood to the body

• Victim collapses SCAVentricular Fibrillation

Chain of Survival



“Chain of Survival”

• Rapid response sequence of events• Activating the chain of survival immediately

will increase the victims chance of survival

Call 911Early CPR Early Defibrillation

EarlyAdvanced Care



1. Call for help

• Once you have assessed the victim, and they are unresponsive send someone to:– Call for help– Bring you the PAD



2. Begin CPR

• Begin CPR immediately.

• CPR keeps oxygenated blood moving to the brain, heart and body.



3. Early Defibrillation

• As soon as the PAD arrives use it.

• The faster a defibrillation shock is delivered, the higher the chance of survival.



4. Early Advance Care

• The sooner advanced medical care arrives, a better outcome is possible.

• Make sure they can find you quickly.



Certified Training

• HeartSine Technologies recommends that all persons using the samaritan® PAD obtain CPR and AED training from a certified training organization.
