🚨 MINUTES MATTER: Why Knowing CPR is a Lifesaving Superpower 🚨
​When someone’s heart stops, every second counts. Brain damage can begin in just 4 minutes, and survival rates drop by 10% for every minute without help.
💥​Here is the honest truth: Our 7th Ward ambulances can't fly, but your hands can buy vital time.
​🚑 Why Your Hands Matter:
▪️​You bridge the gap: CPR keeps oxygen flowing to vital organs until our crew arrives.
▪️​You double their chances: Immediate CPR can double or triple a person's chance of survival.
▪️​You protect your circle: Over 70% of cardiac arrests happen at home. The life you save is most likely to be a loved one or a neighbor.
​🤝 Don't know CPR? You can learn.
​You don't need a medical degree. Even Hands-Only CPR—pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of "Stayin' Alive"—makes a massive difference.
