****CPR
"WARNING! Every
Second YOU Wait! The biological clock of death is a 4-6 minute clock. Every
second you wait to begin CPR ticks off that clock, and a chance of actually
saving your loved one, grows slimmer and slimmer. It takes the average
Emergency Response team 6-8 minutes to arrive after you call 911. The HUMAN
BRAIN can only survive a short 4-6 minutes without oxygen after 6 minutes
irreversible BRAIN damage or death, will certainly occur. CPR is a treatment
used to slow down the process of Brain Death by providing oxygen. It is
the most important part of a TEAM effort to save lives and it could save
the life of someone you know or love...or owes you money."
