Sudden Cardiac Arrest

• More than 1,000 people a day die from Sudden Cardiac in the U.S.1

• Worldwide millions die annually 2

• Many of these deaths occur needlessly

PulsePoint Foundation

• Increase Sudden Cardiac Arrest survival rates in a massive way worldwide– Bystander CPR is a critical link in the chain of survival. It has been

shown to more than double a victim’s chance of surviving a cardiac arrest 1

– Using an automated external defibrillator (AED) in addition to performing bystander CPR further improves the chances of survival 2

– Replace “good luck” with groundbreakingtechnology and a true paradigm shift tocitizens as the first, first responder

“Time is Brain”

– With every minute the chance of survival is reduced by 7-10% 1

– Within 4-6 minutes brain damage starts to occur 2

– After 10 minutes few attempts at resuscitation succeed 3

Chain of Survival

According to the AHA bystander CPR is onlyperformed 32% of the time 1

According to the CARES registry apublic access AED is used only 4% of the time 2

How can PulsePoint make a difference?

– Improve the frequency of bystander CPR by increasing awareness of cardiac events beyond the traditional “witnessed” area
