Cardiac arrest is a sudden, life-threatening condition where the heart unexpectedly stops beating, disrupting blood flow to vital organs. Prompt intervention with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation using an automated external defibrillator (AED) is vital. Recognizing symptoms, such as loss of consciousness and absence of pulse, and seeking immediate medical assistance are crucial in managing cardiac arrest.
