Roberto’s new lease on life

Globally, cardiac arrest claims more lives than colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, influenza, pneumonia, auto accidents, HIV, firearms, and house fires combined¹. Surviving a cardiac arrest event is dependent on a strong system of care, and uninterrupted, high-quality chest compressions are a vital part of a successful resuscitation. With the right tools in the hands of the right teams, we can save lives.

“If someone had told me about an 8-hour cardiac arrest, I wouldn’t have believed it. But this truly happened.”
