‘400 lives could be saved’ with CPR training every year
A pilot project is now being rolled out in Killarney, Co Kerry, and in Kilkenny, with the aim of having 25% of the population in both areas trained to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by the year end.
Irish Community Rapid Response, a voluntary group working in partnership with and supporting existing emergency services, is concerned that just 6% of those who suffer a cardiac arrest in Ireland are saved.
