The time slots that are available are 12 – 1:30 PM; 2:30 – 3:30 PM; 4:30 – 6:00 PM at the Westchester County Center. This is an excellent opportunity to take the time to learn hands only CPR with the crews of the OVAC. Volunteers will participate in a workshop to learn Hands-Only CPR. Why Learn Hands-Only CPR? Cardiac arrest—an electrical malfunction in the heart that causes an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) and disrupts the flow of blood to the brain, lungs, and other organs—is a leading cause of death. Each year, more than 350,000 EMS-assessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States. When a person has a cardiac arrest, survival depends on immediately receiving CPR from someone nearby. According to the American Heart Association, about 90 percent of people who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrests die. CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival.
