75% of the English population would not know what to do if a person in their environment suffered a heart attack or cardiac arrest, say the makers of English Council of CPR (CERCP), which the Senate held a workshop to teach resuscitation senators how to deal with these situations.
According to the results of a study conducted by the CERCP nationally, only 26% of respondents know how to deal with cardiac arrest, a percentage that falls in the lowest social strata.
As explained CERCP President Dr. Juan Bautista Lopez, "is a very large space to improve as the general population really do not know how many heart attacks there or what to do, some very simple things that can help people to save lives. "
" It is estimated that in Spain there are about 24,000 heart attacks each year, with a very low survival rate could increase significantly if the general population had notions of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, "says this expert.
In this regard, Dr. Lee pointed out three measures "essential" to improve survival rate, "introducing the teaching of resuscitation from secondary to install defibrillators in all public places great confluence and, within that, homogenize 16 existing autonomous decrees in this regard and establish a reference group to advise on health possible policies in this field. "
Thus, both senators and Senate workers have been involved in the resuscitation workshop where they have been taught how to deal with cardiac arrest.
" When it appears that the person has lost consciousness and not breathing, call 112 emergency service, to start doing chest compressions, and if a defibrillator is available, connect and use its instructions, "the president of CERCP.
