What is the Golden 8 Minutes ?

Cardiac arrest. The last 8 minutes are exactly what are called "**8 minutes". Perform CPR at this time.

The chance of success also decreases over time: within 1 minute, the success rate is above 90%; Within 4 minutes, the success rate is about 60%; The success rate is about 40% within 6 minutes; By 8 minutes, the success rate is around 20% and may have been "brain dead". CPR is performed 10 minutes after cardiac arrest, and the success rate is almost zero.

China has the highest number of cardiac arrest deaths in the world every year. And the 8 minutes after cardiac arrest is the so-called "**8 minutes". CPR is performed at this time, and the chances of success will decrease over time

Within 1 minute, the success rate is more than 90%; Within 4 minutes, the success rate is about 60%; The success rate is about 40% within 6 minutes; By 8 minutes, the success rate is around 20% and may have been "brain dead". CPR is performed 10 minutes after cardiac arrest, and the success rate is almost zero.

It is the positioning of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Time is of the essence, and the serious consequences of cardiac arrest are measured in seconds: stop for 10 seconds and lose consciousness and fall to the ground suddenly; After 60 seconds, spontaneous breathing gradually stops; cerebral edema begins in 3 minutes; Brain death occurs after stopping for 8 minutes.

Therefore, we call it "**8 minutes" of cardiopulmonary resuscitation

It seems to be to use the skills you have learned to save people in the most dangerous times I looked at it because this is what it means.

1. The 8 minutes after cardiac arrest are the so-called "**8 minutes". CPR is performed at this time, and the chance of success decreases with the passage of time.

Sudden cardiac death has only 5 minutes of rescue time from the onset of symptoms to brain death, beyond which the damage to the brain is irreversible even if the heartbeat is restored.

2. The most serious case in cardiac emergency is cardiac arrest, that is, the sudden termination of cardiac ejection function, resulting in severe ischemia and hypoxia of vital organs, and if not intervened in time, it will lead to the termination of life. This unexpected and sudden death is also known as sudden death in medical terms.

The total number of blind shirts in China reaches 540,000 per year, the highest in the world, and about 1,500 people die of cardiac arrest per day of the temple, and more than 60% of them occur outside the hospital. For patients with cardiac arrest, half of those who are resuscitated within 4 minutes may be resuscitated, also known as "**4 minutes".

**Eight minutes refers to first aid measures performed after cardiac arrest, i.e., CPR is performed within 8 minutes. Because the human body only survives for about 3-5 minutes without oxygen**, if blood circulation and respiratory function can be restored within 8 minutes, serious consequences such as brain damage can be avoided or reduced.

Eight minutes, also known as the "window of life", emphasises the importance of timely first aid measures to save a patient's life. If you find someone in an accident and your heart and breathing stop, you should immediately call 120 for emergency services** and start CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) as soon as possible. Big return.
