Why Do I Need To Learn CPR? The first link in the Chain of Survival* begins with YOU! * Reproduced with the permission of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, 2005. The Chain of Survival is a trade-mark of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. See page 3, Student Manual Visit ACT! www.actfoundation.ca
Why is CPR important? Every year, thousands of Canadians die from cardiac arrest because they don't receive medical treatment fast enough. Eight in 10 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur at home and citizen CPR response is available in only about 15 per cent of cases. Survival rates could be almost four times higher with citizen CPR, according to a landmark study in the New England Journal of Medicine.
With most out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occurring at home, early recognition of a cardiac emergency by a family member, early access to medical help (calling 911) and early citizen CPR are critical to saving lives. Learning CPR is easy and takes only a few hours.
What do students learn through the program? Through the ACT High School CPR Program, all students learn the 4 Rs of CPR: RISK factors for cardiovascular disease and the importance of adopting a heart healthy lifestyle. How to RECOGNIZE a developing medical emergency. How to REACT, by calling 911 quickly and how to help while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. How to RESUSCITATE, or perform CPR.

And now, the 4 Rs RISK FACTORS
Smoking RISK FACTORS Leading cause of heart disease in Canada Causes lung cancer Second-hand air pollution Stinky breath See page 6, Student Manual
RISK FACTORS High Blood Cholesterol Too much cholesterol can cause heart disease or stroke Means lots of fat in the blood Some fat is produced by the body; other fat comes from food What you can do: Eat vegetables, fruits & grain products; reduce fat in diet; exercise! See page 6, Student Manual
RISK FACTORS High Blood Pressure Can damage your heart and blood vessels Increases chances of a heart attack or stroke Heart has to work harder Some causes: hereditary, diet, stress Get it checked regularly! Blood pressure cuff See page 6, Student Manual

RESUSCITATE As simple as ABC & D! Airway Breathing Circulation Defibrillation See page 10, Student Manual
RESUSCITATE One Rescuer CPR Adult Step 1. Step 2. Check for hazards Assess responsiveness Step 3. Call 9-1-1 See page 11, Student Manual
RESUSCITATE One Rescuer CPR Adult Step 4. Landmark for compressions ** Step 5. Give 30 Compressions See page 11, Student Manual
RESUSCITATE One Rescuer CPR Adult Step 6. Open the airway See page 12, Student Manual
RESUSCITATE One Rescuer CPR Adult Step 7. Give 2 breaths if the person is NOT breathing normally See page 12-13, Student Manual
RESUSCITATE Remember: 30 and 2 30 and 2 30 and 2 is what you do. Rock em till someone can SHOCK EM! See page 13, Student Manual
