Why First Aid Training Saves Lives | PulseGuard

The Numbers Speak

Cardiac arrest is the #1 cause of death in Europe. Every year, more than 350,000 people suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest across Europe. In Greece:

• 70% of cardiac events happen outside hospitals
• An ambulance takes 14-18 minutes to arrive
• Every minute without CPR reduces chances by 10%
• Only 6.5% of the population knows CPR

Training Makes the Difference

Research shows that immediate bystander CPR doubles to triples survival chances. Using an AED within the first 3-5 minutes increases chances by 70%.

It's Not Just About Cardiac Arrest

First aid training covers many situations:

• Severe bleeding and trauma
• Choking and breathing difficulties
• Burns and electrocution
• Fractures and spinal injuries
• Allergic reactions (anaphylaxis)
