Video: Just what do we use to help people in cardiac arrest?

We know that for someone in cardiac arrest, getting there quickly is only half the story – what we actually do on scene makes a phenomenal difference to the patient’s chances of survival.

Last week we ran a #CardiacCare takeover to encourage the public to take steps to keep their hearts healthy, but to also highlight what we can do to help if the worst happens.

This video aims to highlight the vast amounts of equipment and drugs that we need to know how to use, to help just one person in cardiac arrest…

Look back at the week’s work using #CardiacCare, and stay tuned on Need to Know for the rest of the month where we’ll be taking a look at cardiac arrest care.
