Do you know CPR?

It takes only a few hours to learn CPR. A few hours of your time to help save someones life. Visit heartandstroke.sk.ca/restart to learn more and get information on CPR training in your area.

In Canada, 40,000 people die of sudden cardiac arrest each year. Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death in Saskatchewan. When sudden cardiac arrest occurs, the chance of survival is zero without fast action including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use of a device called an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Combined, these actions improve survival rates by close to 50 per cent if delivered in the first few minutes. With each passing minute, the probability of survival declines by 7 to 10 per cent.
