allowing heart's normal electrical activity to return and restore the normal pumping action of the
heart.
electrical system of the heart malfunctions, resulting in ventricular fibrillation
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
restores limited blood flow and oxygen to the brain through a combination of chest compressions and
rescue breaths to delay cell death
