When a person experiences cardiac arrest, CPR started by a bystander is a crucial component to their survival. When CPR begins prior to the arrival of emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, the person in cardiac arrest has a two to three-fold higher likelihood of survival.
Telephone CPR is an effective way to ensure that CPR is provided immediately by a bystander; this means that 911 callers would receive CPR instructions until EMS arrives.
