We want to equip families to save lives by ensuring confidence and competence in performing CPR. Knowledge of Basic Life Support must become basic.

THIS. I had never heard of agonal breathing before I heard @DGlaucomflecken doing it. I thought he was snoring, then I thought he was having a respiratory issue. I would never have known to do chest compressions without the 911 dispatcher telling me to. We need more awareness!
Agonal breathing is present in approximately 60% of patients with VF cardiac arrest. Yet the presence of agonal breathing will often confuse the caller and/or dispatcher into thinking the patient is not in cardiac arrest. Remember to ask if the patient is breathing NORMALLY.

New statement in @CircAHA highlights survival after #cardiacarrest as complex & requiring long-term support. Healthcare partners & community leaders can provide survivors, families & rescuers a chance to share stories & become advocates for CPR training and general CA awareness.
