People in the U.S. experience sudden cardiac arrest outside of a hospital setting each year.
Fewer than 10% of victims survive.
It can take up to 10 minutes for EMS to arrive.
Survival rate decreases 7%-10% for each minute without CPR.
About
TAKE10 Cincinnati is a grassroots effort involving citizens, rescuers and doctors designed to educate and rally the community about compression-only CPR, an easy-to-learn technique that can save lives.
Developed by Take Heart Austin and brought to Cincinnati by UC Health, TAKE10 is a free, 10-minute training on the hands-only technique that gives people the confidence to act in an emergency.
The more people in our community who TAKE10, the better chance we all have for surviving a sudden cardiac arrest. Find out how to TAKE10 today.
