signs & symptoms Pressure, a feeling of fullness or a squeezing pain in the center of your chest that lasts for more than a few minutes Pain extending beyond your chest to your shoulder, arm, back, or even to your teeth and jaw Prolonged pain in the upper abdomen Shortness of breath Cold sweat Nausea and vomiting Lightheadedness Fatigue Brain death and pernament brain death start to occur within 4-6 minutes after cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest can be reversed if treated within minutes with an electric shock to the heart to restore normal heartbeat (AED). With every minute that passes without CPR and defribrilation the chance of survival is reduced 7-10% and after 10 minutes without intervention, few attempts at resuscitation succeed. -bystander recognition of s/s of cardiac arrest and immediate call to 911 are critical --
