Cardiac Arrest and the Chain of Survival
![Cardiac-Arrest](https://www.mcfd1.com/wp-content/uploads/Cardiac-Arrest.png)
Fast response of paramedics equipped with defibrillators, airway devices, and heart medications give cardiac arrest victims the best chance of survival.
The term Chain of Survival provides a useful metaphor to help improve cardiac arrest patients’ chances of survival and recovery.
The five links in the adult out-of-hospital Chain of Survival:
- Recognition of cardiac arrest and notification to the 9-1-1 telephone system
- Early CPR with an emphasis on chest compressions
- Early Defibrillation – the delivery of a shock to the heart by using an AED
- Early Advanced Care from highly trained paramedics who can respond to the patient to provide care prior to the arrival at a hospital
- Advanced life support and post-cardiac arrest care
