Today’s Goals Increase knowledge and
awareness of “hands-only” CPR Learn what to do in a crisis (and
what not to do) Practice continuous chest
compressions Prepare to save
someone’s life
If you witness the sudden collapse of an individual…
…you need to be prepared to perform hands-only CPR.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation
CPR keeps blood oxygen flowing to the brain as much as possible to preserve brain
function.
Anyone can learn hands-only CPR. You do not have to be a nurse or doctor.
There are just a few things to remember.
During chest compressions,
place hands in the center of the chest;
keep arms straight; compress chest hard and fast
at the rate of 100 compressions per minute;
compress chest at least 2 inches deep (for ages 8 and up).
Stop CPR if…
you see obvious signs of life; an AED (automated external
defibrillator) becomes available; other trained personnel arrive to
help; you become too exhausted to
continue; or the scene becomes unsafe.
Watch this short video on how to perform hands-only CPR.
