Cardiac Arrest
A cardiac arrest is when your heart suddenly stops pumping blood around your body. Although it's sometimes mistaken for a heart attack, a cardiac arrest is different
A cardiac arrest is an emergency that usually happens without warning. If someone is in cardiac arrest, they collapse suddenly and:
-
will be unconscious
-
unresponsive, and
-
not breathing or not breathing normally – this may mean they’re making gasping noises.
Without immediate treatment, the person will die. If you see someone having a cardiac arrest, phone 999 immediately and start CPR.
