In emergencies, such as cardiac arrest 🚑 or a fire, volunteers sometimes arrive faster on scene than professional first responders. CWI researcher Rob van der Mei is investigating how to optimally deploy volunteers in emergency situations. How many volunteers do you need and where do you need them the most? Rob works with Caroline Jagtenberg from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Pieter van den Berg from Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam. They received a €500,000 grant from TKI DINALOG. In an earlier study that lead to this cooperation, Rob worked together with Brandweer Amsterdam-Amstelland, which has the ambitious plan to recruit 100,000 volunteers. This could cut the response time in an emergency 🚒 - eight minutes on average -🚒 by four minutes(!), Rob calculated. With half the number of volunteers the response time still drops with three minutes and 26 seconds ⏱. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 👉 https://bit.ly/4clL0FE

Do you know the difference between a cardiac arrest and a heart attack? Understanding the difference can be life-saving! 🚨Cardiac Arrest: The heart suddenly stops beating due to an abnormal rhythm caused by issues with the heart’s electrical system. Call 111 and start CPR immediately. 🚨Heart attack: Blood can’t flow to the heart as normal, this is sometimes caused by a blockage. Call 111 immediately, but DON’T start CPR unless the person becomes unconscious. However, only 46% of cardiac arrest victims in New Zealand receive CPR from bystanders. Learn CPR today with The New Zealand Resuscitation Council, St John NZ, NZ Red Cross, and more! Access more resources on Emergency Prep here https://buff.ly/2AeuFps

Did you know? In the workplace, there are around 10,000 cardiac arrests each year in the United States, according to the American Heart Association. Shockingly, only 50% of people can locate an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) at work. Knowledge is power, and in this case, it's a potential life-saver. This your reminder to not only learn CPR, but also take the time to locate the nearest AED at work. By doing so, you have the potential to help decrease the amount of fatalities caused by cardiac arrest each year. #WorldPoint #EmergencyPlan #WorkplaceSafety #AEDAwareness #SaveLives #AtTheHeartOfYourTraining
