Restart A Heart Day runs each year when across the globe we raise awareness of CPR and how important it is for us all to know how we can save a life using just our hands.
Why is it important that we all know how to perform CPR?
Every year in Ireland thousands of people die from a cardiac arrest. Around 70% of these deaths happen at home, in front of a loved one. Which means that if someone you love suffers a cardiac arrest, you could be their best chance of survival.
To counter this, the IHF has developed a new awareness campaign, kindly supported by Abbott and ESB Networks, which shows just how straightforward it is to perform CPR. They’re launching the campaign today on Restart a Heart Day with a great new video featuring “Manny Quinn”, our familiar CPR training manikin! It’s less than a minute long – please take a minute to check it out and remind yourself of the key steps of CPR.
