By Gunter Valda
Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. If the heart stops beating, the vital blood flow to the brain and internal organs is lacking. Only 20 out of 100 people affected survive. The chances increase with the early start of quality first aid. The book describes the correct sequence of resuscitation measures in adults and children as well as in special situations, such as the risk of suffocation, in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. With these instructions, a life can be saved in an emergency with simple steps: emergency call, cardiac massage, use of a defibrillator. With this book, the author and photographer also created an emotional and artistic appeal for first aid. In a series of portraits he shows people from different walks of life, who have one thing in common – they all survived cardiac arrest thanks to the intervention of those around them. They were resuscitated by courageous first responders.
