I spent 15 years as a firefighter and paramedic, and I think everyone should learn CPR…
Because CPR is most effective when it’s performed immediately. It’s not the firefighters, paramedics, or nurses who save lives, it’s the bystanders. According to the AHA, only 46% of cardiac arrest victims receive immediate help. As a bystander, you can use CPR to help a victim of cardiac arrest stay alive until first responders like myself arrive on the scene. Every second counts. I started this company to empower bystanders because it is their quick action that makes the biggest difference between life and death.

CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
The 3 main parts of CPR can be easily remembered as “CAB”. This stands for compression, airway, and breathing.
There are many components to successful high-quality CPR, including chest compressions with minimal interruptions, proper hand placement, appropriate ventilation, and adequate compression depth.
The AHA guidelines recommend a compression rate of at least 100-120 compressions per minute for adults, children, and infants.
You should continue CPR until the victim starts to breathe or wakes up, you have finished 2 minutes of CPR and are switching compressors, the AED advises you to “Stop CPR,” the scene becomes unsafe, or you become too tired and cannot continue.
