Why Does BLS Training Matter?
Every year, more than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside hospitals in the United States, making immediate CPR and AED skills critical for healthcare professionals. The American Heart Association reports that 2024 adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival to hospital discharge was approximately 10.5%, while only about 42% of adults received bystander CPR. Immediate CPR can double or triple the chance of survival.
