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.

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.
