The Chain of survival concept comprises four vital links that can save a life:
Early Access
Early Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Early Defibrillation
Early Advanced Care
Survival rates from cardiac arrest decreases by 7-10% every minute, thus prompt response by a trained member of the community could save a life. In ireland, 11,000 deaths occur annually from cardiovascular disease (CVD) and it is estimated that 6,000 of these are from a sudden cardiac arrest. 70% of cardiac arrests occur out of hospital and usually occur in the presnece of a family member or friend. Knowing how to perform CPR can help to save a life.
