CPR Can Double or Triple Survival After Cardiac Arrest
CPR is not just training—it is a lifesaving skill anyone can use. Quick action, in fact, can double or even triple survival. That’s why our CPR classes are simple, practical, and hands-on.
- To begin with, take a CPR class with Bee the Beat. Learning today could save a life tomorrow.
- Meanwhile, hands-only CPR is quick, effective, and easy to learn.
- Finally, join our mission. Together, we can build a community of lifesavers.
What is CPR?
CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is used when the heart stops. Without it, oxygen cannot reach the brain. As a result, death can happen in minutes.
- Most importantly, CPR keeps blood moving until help arrives.
- More than 350,000 people die from cardiac arrest each year in the U.S.
- Quick action, however, can change that.
- In other words, CPR is the bridge between life and death.
Why is CPR Important?
The Chain of Survival explains why each step matters. Because of this, strong links mean more lives saved:
- First, recognize cardiac arrest and call 911.
- Next, start chest compressions.
- Then, use an AED.
- Meanwhile, EMS arrives with advanced care.
- After that, hospital treatment continues.
- Finally, recovery and support begin.
👉 Ultimately, survival depends on fast, connected action.

How to Perform CPR
There are two main methods:
- Conventional CPR: 30 compressions, 2 breaths.
- Hands-Only CPR: Call 911, then push hard and fast in the center of the chest.
Compression Guidelines:
- To start, aim for 100–120 compressions per minute.
- In addition, push at least 2 inches deep for adults.
- Most importantly, avoid long pauses.
👉 Even a few minutes of CPR can save a life. Check out the CDC’s guide to CPR basics.
The CPR Gender Gap
🚨 Men Are More Likely to Receive CPR in Public Than Women — Let’s Change That.
- Public CPR: Men 45% | Women 39%.
- As a result, men are 1.23x more likely to survive.
- Their survival rate, in fact, is 23% higher.
Why the gap? Many bystanders hesitate. Some worry about anatomy. Others fear harm or feel social discomfort. Because of this, women often miss lifesaving help.
Our Commitment:
At Bee the Beat CPR, we focus on inclusive, confidence-building training. After all, every second counts. Ultimately, every life matters.
Heart Attack vs. Cardiac Arrest
💡 Know the Difference
Cardiac Arrest
- The heart stops suddenly.
- Caused by an electrical problem.
- Therefore, CPR and AED use are critical.
Heart Attack
- Blood flow to the heart is blocked.
- Caused by a clot.
- In this case, medical care must begin fast.
👉 Remember, a heart attack can cause cardiac arrest. However, not every cardiac arrest begins with a heart attack.
