When a shopper suffered a cardiac arrest, a teacher, a store supervisor and an off-duty firefighter sprang into action. All 3 of them had CPR training and worked as a team to save the life of the cardiac arrest victim. This happened in North Vancouver, Canada.
Kudos to Mr Liam Marcoux, Mr Devan Coward and Mr Ray Wong for helping to save a precious life.
Bystander CPR is a critical link in the chain of survival. Studies have shown that the chances of survival decrease by about 10% for every minute of delay in starting CPR. The delay will increase the likelihood of a victim dying or suffering permanent brain damage.
Hence, we need bystanders like you to be able to step forward during a cardiac arrest emergency. If you encounter a suspected cardiac arrest case but are not familiar with CPR, do not fret. You can call 995 and the 995 dispatcher will guide you over the phone to perform CPR until the ambulance arrives.

While Ms Katie Stencel was on a flight recently, the pilot requested for medical professionals on board to assist in a medical emergency.
Without hesitation, Ms Stencel, a nurse by profession, sprang into action. She joined a fire fighter and a flight attendant to resuscitate a passenger with CPR for an hour before the plane could land.
Ms Stencel shared her reasons for responding to the call for help. She said: “All I knew is that if we didn’t do something now, she had no chance. So we jumped in and did everything that we could.” Kudos to Ms Stencel, the off-duty fire fighter and flight attendant for stepping forward to perform CPR on the victim.
Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) is a time-sensitive condition. The chances of survival decrease by 10% with every minute without intervention. OHCA is one of the leading causes of deaths around the world. Hence, it’s important for as many people to be trained in CPR & AED.

Upon witnessing a man who had collapsed at Kallang Basin Swimming Complex, 4 Sports Singapore staff Mr Guo Ze, Mr Luo Shiwei, Mr Kow Heng Bee and Ms Lee Pei Shan immediately came to his aid. After checking that he was not breathing and did not have a pulse, they quickly performed CPR and use the AED until medical help arrived. Thanks to their efforts, the man’s pulse returned and he regained consciousness.
Thank you to Mr Guo Ze, Mr Luo Shiwei, Mr Kow Heng Bee and Ms Lee Pei Shan for stepping up to DARE to save a heart.
