First Responders Canton Vaud

Features First Responders Canton Vaud

The only resuscitation application linked to the Emergency Sanitary Call Center 144 (CASU-144) of the Canton of Vaud, it allows you to receive CASU alarms and increase the chances of survival of a person on arrest cardio-respiratory system close to you.In Switzerland, 0.4 to 1% of the population experiences cardiopulmonary arrest (ACR) each year, which corresponds to around 8,000 people.
To increase the success of cardiac resuscitation, two things are essential: early cardiac massage and defibrillation in the first few minutes.
It is therefore important to be able to benefit from Basic Life Support (BLS) or Basic Life Support & Automated External Defibrillator (BLS-AED) training as well as the provision of defibrillators near the event.Up to 80% of victims could be resuscitated but, at the Swiss level, just over 5% of patients currently survive.
However, the benchmark for survival rates can reach over 55%.
So why not take action?If you have already benefited from a BLS course and wish to work as a volunteer for a cause of public utility, become a First responder by downloading this application linked to the Vaud CASU in order to be able to register and participate in the First networks.
