Earlier this year, in the USA, a 9year old boy saved a 2month old baby’s life by teaching the mother how to perform CPR. The baby had stopped breathing and the mother could only scream and scream and perform incorrect CPR. Her 9yr old neighbour who, thankfully, happened to be there calmly guided her through correct CPR process on the baby. The baby’s breathing returned and soon, paramedics arrived to take over from the mum. The baby survived! When the young hero was asked how he learnt to perform CPR, he told them he memorized the steps illustrated on a cafeteria poster at his elementary school!
What are the statistics?
The numbers are quite disturbing as
cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in many places.
