The worldwide incidence of Sudden Cardiac Arrest may be as high as 1 for 1,000. In Europe, Sudden Cardiac Arrest represents 700 000 deaths per year, and 40 000 in France alone (that brings the numbers up to more than one sudden heart failure every 15 minutes).

Unfortunately we know that the majority of deaths occur while waiting for professional assistance to arrive on the scene. It is during that lapse of time, that action must be taken. Non-medical professional witnesses must learn to assess the situation, to call for help and to start Basic Life Support. Those first-aid reflexes will save the patient’s life. The survival rate rises significantly when trained witnesses perform Basic Life Support.

The training we offer is in accordance with the latest international First- Aid recommendations and is based on scientific research carried out world-wide.

It excludes dangerous acts.
