So, What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest?
Let's take a closer look
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a condition in which the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating. If this happens, blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs.
SCA usually causes death if it's not treated within minutes.
Bystander CPR improves survival: According to 2014 data, nearly 45 percent of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims survived when bystander CPR was administered. The majority of Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrests (OHCA) occurs at public settings (18.8 percent), mostly homes/residences (69.5%) and nursing homes (11.7%) ~ American Heart Association.
In one year alone, 475,000 Americans die from a cardiac arrest. Globally, cardiac arrest claims more lives than colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, influenza, pneumonia, auto accidents, HIV, firearms, and house fires combined ~ American Heart Association.
More than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital each year. In 2015, sudden cardiac arrest mortality in the US was 366,807. CPR, especially if administered immediately after cardiac arrest, can double, or triple a person’s chance of survival. About 90 percent of people who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest die ~ American Heart Association.
Help is needed immediately. Unfortunately, only about 46% of people who experience an OHCA get the immediate help that they need before professional help arrives. The 2017 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics state that among the 356,000 OHCA that occurred, 45.7% (or 46%) received bystander CPR ~ American Heart Association.

What's the Difference Between Bystander Level Training and More Advanced Trainings?
This is Bystander CPR in action...
CPR Fundraising only delivers Bystander level training. This means we've tailored our training programs to focus specifically on people who have no occupational requirement to maintain higher levels of training, like the good Samaritans shown in Brent Martin's story above.
For example, in Brent’s story, the good Samaritans that stopped to help him provided care at a Bystander level of training. The fire department and paramedics delivered a higher level of care due to the nature of their jobs and training.

ECC 2020 Guideline Changes
What are the minor changes to the 2020 Emergency Cardiac Care Guidelines for Lay Rescuers?
Every five-years the international organizations coordinating and promulgating guidelines for cardiac care come together to review all available evidence, based on science to determine what changes or improvements can be made to the existing guidelines.
Those recommendations are put together and distributed to the international community for distribution to their member organizations. The American Heart Association (AHA) is the representing body from the United States. Their guideline changes were minor for Layperson rescuer training programs and are reviewed here.
