A lot of responsibility lies on the shoulders of a healthcare provider with regards to the the life of a patient. They cannot afford to be in a fix, they should be well-prepared and well-trained to be able to face any emergency situation involving a patient confidently.

Advanced healthcare professionals would be facing such cardiac emergency situations more number of times because of their profession. The best way to deal with and revive a cardiac arrest victim is by properly administering the life-saving CPR procedures.
