心肺復甦納入教育內容

China has asked all public schools to teach students first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation as part of children's health education to address the public's lack of knowledge and competence to step in during a first aid emergency, according to a joint statement by the Ministry of Education and Red Cross Society of China on Monday.

爲解決公衆急救知識和能力不足的問題，中國紅十字會和教育部8月24日聯合印發的通知，要求所有公立學校將急救知識和心肺復甦術納入兒童健康教育內容。

There are as many as 550,000 sudden cardiac deaths in China every year, meaning one person dies per minute due to cardiac arrest, according to the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases.

國家心血管病中心稱，我國每年心臟性猝死發病人數多達55萬，相當於每分鐘就有1人因心臟驟停而死。

About 60 percent of these deaths occur outside hospitals and the survival rate of a patient who received CPR outside a hospital is less than 4.5 percent in China, compared with about 47.5 percent in developed countries.

此類死亡病例中約60%發生在醫院以外的地方。患者院外心肺復甦的成功率不足4.5%，相較而言發達國家這一概率約爲47.5%。

The public in China is severely lacking in knowledge of first aid and the number of people who have received first aid training stands at a mere 1 percent.

我國公衆急救知識極爲缺乏，急救培訓普及率僅爲1%。

In the city of Beijing, the rate is slightly higher at 4 percent.

北京市的急救培訓普及率略高，爲4%。
