In a recent interview, Royal Life Saving Society – NSW CEO, David Macallister, talked about the importance of learning CPR. He talked of a study conduced by the Children’s Hospital at Westmead in Sydney that looked at eight child drowning cases.
In four cases, CPR had been attempted by the rescuers as soon as possible. In the other cases, the rescuers chose to wait for emergency services to arrive. The four children who received CPR in the first instance survived. The four who did not receive CPR died, showing how vital it is to know how to conduct CPR as it can be the difference between life and death.
