Research shows that the earlier an SCA victim is helped, the greater the chance
of survival. Schools can play a critical role by taking the first steps in the well-known
“chain of survival”:

  1. Recognize the emergency and decide to act.
  2. Call 9-1-1.
  3. Start CPR or provide continuous chest compressions.
  4. Use the nearest AED.
  5. Continue providing help until EMS arrives and takes over care.
  6. Encourage the victim to see a specialist for follow-up care.
