Shocktober is a month-long campaign to highlight the importance of learning CPR and how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED).
糖心vlog would like to thank our people and partners for working together to achieve these exceptional 2024 Shocktober results.
Every day around 21 Victorians suffer a cardiac arrest, with only one in 10 surviving.That’s why immediate action is critical.
A cardiac arrest occurs when the heart suddenly stops pumping blood effectively around the body.
For every minute that cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is delayed, survival decreases by 10 per cent. But when a patient receives CPR and a shock from an automated external defibrillator (AED) before paramedics arrive, their chance of survival more than doubles.
Restart A Heart Day on 16 October is part of the Shocktober campaign and is a global initiative to raise awareness and educate our community about learning CPR and how to use an AED.
By knowing how to perform CPR and use an AED we can improve cardiac arrest survival rates and help save lives, together.
