More Information
When a person experiences cardiac arrest, their chance of survival decreases significantly with each passing minute without intervention. The decrease rate is 7–10% per minute if CPR and defibrillation are not applied promptly.
Tips
A common mistake is underestimating the speed at which survival chances decrease during cardiac arrest, leading to delays in administering CPR or defibrillation.
