There are 43,000 cardiac arrests in the UK every year and only 9% survive ❤️‍🩹 The Resuscitation Council UK has released new CPR guidelines for both community & hospital settings 🏥👥 Learning CPR and knowing the updated guidance could save a life ✅

Don’t let fear hold you back from helping save a life. By giving CPR a go, you are giving someone their best chance of survival. Performing high quality CPR is always our goal, but any CPR may still make a difference ❤️

If someone is not breathing at all or not breathing normally, that’s your signal to start CPR. But what does abnormal breathing actually look or sound like during a cardiac arrest? Swipe through to find out 👇

Well done to staff in Mount Alexander Home in Comber who completed their mock arrest simulation training👏 They are now knowledgeable in delivering CPR and using the defibrillator with skill and confidence🌟 Training like this is essential, knowing what to do can save a life ❤️

People in deprived areas are: - less likely to receive bystander CPR, - less likely to access a defib, - and less likely to survive cardiac arrest. This isn’t chance, it’s inequality. We’re committed to changing this, because where you live or what your background is should not determine your survival.

Defibs significantly increase the chance of surviving a cardiac arrest, yet in 2023, they were used in just 8.3% of cases outside hospitals. This is why greater public awareness and education is needed. These devices save lives, but only if people have the confidence to use them.

Fearghal McKinney, Head of BHF NI, commented on the Education Minister's announcement: "We very much welcome the announcement of the roll-out of defibrillators to all schools in Northern Ireland. Each year over 1,400 people in Northern Ireland have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and the survival rate is less than 1 in 10. Every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces the chance of survival by up to 10 percent. Having defibrillators throughout schools in Northern Ireland and where possible, making them accessible to the wider community, will undoubtedly increase the chance of saving more lives. “We would encourage all schools to ensure their defibrillator is registered on The Circuit, the national defibrillator network. Registration is quick and easy to do, and you could help save a life by doing so.”
Education Minister @paulgivan has today announced a significant new initiative to fund and roll out Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) to all schools in Northern Ireland. Read more: education-ni.gov.uk/news/lif…

John Deery survived a cardiac arrest at this year’s Belfast Marathon & is backing @TheBHF's #TheCircuit campaign to encourage communities in NI to help create a lifesaving map of 100k UK-wide defibrillator registrations, ensuring more lives can be saved in emergencies. View John's story about how registering a defib on The Circuit could be the difference of someone surviving a cardiac arrest. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c170…

Well done Ciara and thank you @ResusServiceSET @setrust 👏👏👏
Just had the most amazing CPR training by Sarah @ResusServiceSET today. CPR training is always so difficult for me, it is getting easier each time but the emotional side of it is always there. Learn and know your CPR, you could save a life❤️‍🩹 #cardiacarrestsurvivor #cprsaveslifes
