What is the Chain of Survival?

The Chain of Survival refers to a series of actions that rescuers (bystanders or paramedics) need to take to improve the likelihood of survival following a cardiac arrest. Knowing and understanding the six key “links” in the chain can greatly reduce mortality rates. Sudden Cardiac arrest is an electrical malfunction in the heart that causes an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) and disrupts the flow of blood to the brain, lungs and other organs. It is a leading cause of death. Each year, more than 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States according to the American Heart Association. When a person has a cardiac arrest, survival depends on immediately getting CPR from someone nearby. Almost 90 percent of people who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrests die. CPR, especially if performed in the first few minutes of cardiac arrest, can double or triple a person’s chance of survival.

The 6 links in the adult out-of-hospital Chain of Survival are:

Recognition of Cardiac Arrest and Activation of the Emergency Response System

Immediate High-Quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

Rapid Defibrillation

Recovery

Recognition of Cardiac Arrest and Activation of EMS

The first step is so critical. It actually puts the wheels in motion toward giving the victim access to the best care.

Recognize the emergency and decide to act

Call 9-1-1, activate the on-site emergency response system and send someone to retrieve the nearest AED (Automated External Defibrillator) If the rescuer is alone, he or she should retrieve the AED immediately.

Immediate High-Quality CPR

Starting High-Quality CPR immediately re-introduces life-giving oxygenated blood-flow to the vital organs, particularly the heart and brain. High-Quality CPR can allow the heart to be in much better condition for a defibrillation shock than if CPR is not performed.

Start CPR Immediately

If you do not know how to perform CPR, a 911 operator will talk you through the procedure. If you are not trained in CPR, use hands-only CPR by pushing hard and fast on the center of the chest at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute

As soon as an AED becomes available, the rescuer should place the device next to the victim. Simply turn it on and follow the visual and audio prompts. He or she should then attach the electrode pads to the victim’s bare chest as shown in the diagram on the pads If a shock is advised, stand clear and make sure no one is in contact with the patient. Refers to the rapid response of highly trained and equipped EMS personnel who can respond to the patient, administer medications, and offer advanced interventions as needed. This link is reliant on the very first link in the chain: early recognition and call for emergency assistance.

Recovery

Includes additional treatment, observation, rehabilitation, and psychological support
