Would you know<br />
what to do in an<br />
Emergency?<br />
♥ Every week in Scotland, 70 people<br />
suffer cardiac arrest.<br />
♥ More than 3500 people per year<br />
in Scotland are treated by the<br />
Ambulance Service following a cardiac arrest.<br />
♥ Only one in 20 people will survive.<br />
♥ Without resuscitation, cardiac arrest is always fatal<br />
♥ But, performing CPR could double that person’s chance of survival<br />
Heartstart courses are free of charge and it only takes two hours to learn the<br />
skills which may someday save a life:<br />
♥ CPR and using an Automated External Defi brillator (AED)<br />
