But what if someone was already at the scene, applying lifesaving CPR and defibrillation until they arrive? With PulsePoint, the dispatch center immediately alerts CPR-trained individuals about nearby cardiac arrest events through the free PulsePoint Respond mobile app, and also lets them know the location of the closest AEDs. When that life-threatening call comes in emergency responders will be ready. Yet only 11% say they’ve used CPR in an actual emergency-that’s a number we can increase together. adults say they’ve had CPR training, and most would be willing to use CPR or an AED to help save a stranger’s life. You know the difference early CPR and defibrillation can make in a Sudden Cardiac Arrest event.

“Sudden Cardiac Arrest is not just a job for emergency responders but rather a community-based issue that requires a community-based response.” – International Association of Fire Chiefs “In no other medical situation is there such a vital reliance on the community.”
