NBC 5 and Telemundo 39 are proud to support the American Heart Association, and throughout February, we are dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of CPR training. We invite you to take a stand and become a beacon of hope in our community by equipping yourself, your family, and your friends with CPR training.
Every year, over 23,000 children experience cardiac arrest, with nearly 20% of these cases involving infants. Alarmingly, around 40% of cardiac arrests in young people are related to sports activities. Additionally, cardiac arrest is a significant contributor to sudden unexpected infant deaths, accounting for 10-15% of these tragic occurrences.
