THE CHAIN OF SURVIVAL IS ONLY AS STRONG AS WE MAKE IT

Create a culture of action in your community.

A CALL TO ACTION

Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, at any time, but PulsePoint Respond empowers CPR-trained citizens to help improve patient outcomes and save lives by reducing collapse-to-CPR and collapse-to-defibrillation times. And when citizens are more aware of and engaged with the health of their community, they become better partners with your agency—and a stronger link in your response efforts.

PROXIMITY TO VICTIM

For extremely time-sensitive emergencies like cardiac arrest, notifying “first-first responders” that are in the immediate vicinity of an event, simultaneously with the conventional Fire/EMS response, offers the potential to improve outcomes. By expanding situational awareness beyond the purview of a traditional witnessed arrest radius, the opportunity to instantly draw skilled individuals, including off-duty health care professionals, grows, enabling critical life-sustaining BLS interventions to begin sooner and more often, and potentially of higher quality.
