Heartguard

“The most important person when a victim’s heart stops is the person who witnesses the event, not the doctors, hospital consultants, nurses or paramedics. If the witness does not immediately start and maintain emergency life support the victim will definitely die, regardless of how excellent the eventual treatment given by the medical professionals. Remember you could be that important person”
