found that an estimated 65 percent of people had CPR training, but only 18 percent were up to date on their training.
“One of the greatest take-home points from this terrible situation is how important it is to be able to provide CPR quickly,” said Larry Phillips, a cardiologist at . The key is to “first recognize that a medical emergency is taking place, and then to quickly be able to provide CPR, and [use a] defibrillator when needed to help return the heart to normal heart rhythm.”The Washington Post spoke to cardiologists about cardiac arrests and what bystanders should do if they witness someone collapsing.
