Title: Hands-Only CPR: What Everyone Should Know

Cardiac arrest can happen suddenly and without warning. When it does, immediate CPR can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival. Many people hesitate to help because they are unsure how to perform rescue breaths. That is where Hands-Only CPR can help.


What Is Hands-Only CPR?

Hands-Only CPR involves:

  • Calling 911

  • Providing continuous chest compressions until help arrives

This method is recommended for adults who suddenly collapse in public settings.


How To Perform Hands-Only CPR

  1. Call 911 immediately.

  2. Place the heel of your hand in the center of the chest.

  3. Push hard and fast at a rate of 100–120 compressions per minute.

  4. Allow the chest to fully recoil between compressions.

Why It Matters

Brain damage can begin within minutes after the heart stops. Early CPR keeps blood flowing to vital organs until EMS arrives.
