HANDS ONLY CPR
Hands-Only CPR has been shown to be as effective as conventional CPR for sudden cardiac arrest at home, at work or in public. It can double or even triple a victim’s chance of survival. In a national survey, Americans who had not been trained in CPR said they would be more likely to perform Hands-Only CPR than conventional CPR on a teen or adult who collapses suddenly. Also, Hands-Only CPR is an easy-to-remember and effective option for people who have been trained in CPR before but are afraid to help because they are not confident that they can remember and perform the steps of conventional CPR.
Hands-Only CPR is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths. It is recommended for use by people who see a teen or adult suddenly collapse in an “out-of-hospital” setting (such as at home, at work or in a park). It consists of two easy steps: .
1. Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to call).
2. Push hard and fast in the center of the chest.
When you call 911, you need to stay on the phone until the 911 dispatcher (operator) tells you to hang up. The dispatcher will ask you about the emergency. They will also ask for details like your location. It is important to be specific, especially if you’re calling from a mobile phone as that is not associated with a fixed location or address. Remember that answering the dispatcher’s questions will not delay the arrival of help. .

We strongly advise that you enroll in a local First Aid and CPR course for Lay-Rescuer Certification. Remember, Good Samaritan Laws exist in all states to protect emergency rescuers who help strangers. In most states an adult, who witnesses a legal minor child in a medical emergency when the responsible adult cannot be immediately located, these laws apply as well.
DISCLAIMER: These CPR, AED and First Aid guidelines represent current ILCOR guidelines. They do not imply certification, guarantee results, or outcomes in any manner. We strongly advise you take certification courses to further knowledge and become officially certified in dealing with these emergency situations above.
