Everyone can benefit from learning Basic Life Saving skills. Oceanside CPR is an accredited agency in New Jersey that offers certified BLS education training for both the public and health care workers enabling them to earn their certification quickly. The American Heart Association publishes alarming statistics each year that quickly put into perspective why BLS education training is so crucial to saving those we love most.
It’s a statistical fact that over 383,000 sudden cardiac arrests happen each year. However the most alarming statistic is that out of that number a full 80%+ happen while at home. So learning the BLS training means you will likely use what you learn to save a member within your household. What better motivation could exists than learning the few skills necessary to save the life of someone so close to you, and most likely within your family?
The American Heart Association also released a statistic that confirms that over 70% of American adults report a feeling of helplessness when witnessing a cardiac event; the reason being that they do not know how to do CPR or that the training they once had was a long time ago. This makes individuals doubt their ability and fear doing something wrong, causing them to not act, or acting after a significant delay, and with cardiac events seconds count. The reason that this hits so close to home is that over 88% of cardiac events occur when the individual is at home. To put these figures into perspective, if 100 people have heart attacks, only 12 of them will have a cardiac event somewhere other than their home. Is it worth risking the chance that someone you love will be one of the 12?
Perhaps what most people don’t realize is that of those 400k annual cardiac events that occur outside the hospital, only an 8% chance of survival exists. Equally alarming is that if a cardiac event occurs out in public or in the workplace, only 32% of people will receive CPR from a bystander, despite the fact that BLS doubles or triples that individuals chance of survival. This just further proves that by learning BLS skills you not only have the best chance of saving someone you love, but you are in a position to help save the life of someone else.
Oceanside CPR provides onsite BLS education training, so they will gladly come to your club, work or group in order to train those you associate with at your location. What better investment could a business owner make than to have their workers best protect those they love and those they work with by learning BLS training?
BLS skills include emergency cardiovascular care, or ECC which imparts this vital skill that gives hope of life to those one comes into contact with. Each and every day new treatments are used to improve the chances of survival of those who suffer from strokes, cardiovascular emergencies and cardiac arrest.
