Just one in 20 people in Wales survive cardiac arrest - one of the worst rates in Europe.
And if all universities in Wales offered CPR training, up to 130,000 people would learn the life-saving skills to restart someone's heart.Ex-sports lecturer John Rawlins, 64, was given CPR after suffering a cardiac arrest.
"First of all, [a man] thought I was meditating, then he noticed I was slowly turning blue," said John.John woke up five weeks later in intensive care at Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales."The more people who can do CPR, the more people that are confident, the greater the chances that people will survive it, and survive it with good outcomes," he said.For every minute without CPR, a patient's chance of survival goes down by 10%.
