During cardiac arrest the heart gets out of rhythm and suddenly stops beating. The person no longer has a pulse, stops breathing and becomes unconscious. Blood stops flowing throughout the rest of the body and into the brain.Unlike a heart attack, cardiac arrest is caused by an electrical disturbance that disrupts how the heart pumps blood throughout the body, ultimately stopping blood flow. There is not a blockage to the heart.
It can be the difference between life and death. When the heart stops pumping blood throughout the rest of the body, the brain doesn’t receive oxygen. Within four to six minutes there can be significant brain damage, so every second counts.CPR and an AED are needed when the heart stops beating. The combination of these two things can be life-saving if administered quickly when a person experiences sudden cardiac arrest.
