OUR PARTNERS
This campaign is powered by our partners. Through their support and shared commitment, we’re raising awareness, challenging barriers, and working towards ensuring women receive bystander CPR and defibrillation at the same rate as men.
Women are less likely than men to receive bystander CPR when cardiac arrest occurs in a public place. They are also substantially less likely to receive defibrillation.
Why?
- Fear of inappropriate touching
- Uncertainty of hand placement
- Concern about hurting the woman
- Public perception and social norms
But Cardiac Arrest is not a social situation,
It’s an emergency
CPR is performed in the centre of the chest.
Breasts do not change where you press.
Place one AED pad on the upper right chest and the other on the lower left side, lifting the breast if needed.
