CPR increases a person’s chance of survival by double or even triple! 70% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in homes, which means that if you are called on to give CPR in an emergency, you will most likely be trying to save the life of someone you love: a parent, a sibling, a spouse or a friend.
