REVIVE & SURVIVE
SAN DIEGO
Revive & Survive San Diego is a partnership between the UC San Diego Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science and the County of San Diego Emergency Medical Services with the goal of teaching 1 million San Diegans hands-only CPR, thereby increasing the chances of receiving lifesaving bystander CPR in the case of cardiac arrest.
​
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a skill that can save the life of someone in cardiac arrest, along with the use of an automated external defibrillator. In cardiac arrests that occur out side of a hospital, the chances of meaningful recovery and survival drop 7-10% for every minute that CPR is delayed. Even with the fastest response times, first-responders are often minutes away. Your actions as a bystander trained in hands-only CPR can save someone's life and positively impact their recovery! ​​​​​​​
​
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) at UC San Diego is working alongside Keeping the Beat SD to contribute to this initiative as a community partner. Together, we provide hands-only CPR training to UCSD organizations and the greater community. Join EMS at UCSD and Keeping the Beat SD in the Revive & Survive initiative. We are seeking CPR instructors and event volunteers to help with our hands-only CPR events. To read/learn more about the Revive & Survive Initiative, visit revivesurvive.ucsd.edu.
