“Cardiac arrest can happen anytime and anywhere. In these emergencies, the heart stops beating or beats too ineffectively to circulate blood to the brain and other vital organs.” [1.]

“CPR can significantly improve someone's chance of surviving when bystanders take prompt action. CPR Also Prevents Brain Death.” [1.]

“The location of Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrests (OHCA) most often occurs in homes/residences (73.4%), followed by public settings (16.3%), and nursing homes (10.3%).” [3.]

“William Kouwenhoven (1886–1975) rediscovered external cardiac compression by accident during his research on internal and external defibrillation, and so became the founder of modern CPR. Born in New York he obtained a doctorate in electrical engineering in Germany.”[2.]
