If they don't have a heartbeat, chest compressions might keep them alive until the EMTs come. CPR's rate of success isn't great in most circumstances, but it's much better than nothing. No pulse, no breathing, their chance of death by the time EMTs arrive is essentially 100% without CPR. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ziggurat@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago I didn't care about this statistic when my daughter needed cpr While panicking I didn't know what do do but call the emergency services, I screamed in terror into the phone, they were trained and instructed me and the wife to do what we needed to do until the ambulance came. My eyes get teary and my gut gets cold even writing this. My daughter survived and is as healthy as can be now. This is even when my wife is an trained nurse that would have been able to handle the situation if it was not our daughter. Nothing could have prepared us on how to handle the situation if we couldn't call emergency services permalink fedilink source parent
