Why Hands‑Only CPR Saves Lives (Seriously)
Did you know that hands-only CPR can double or even triple a cardiac arrest victim's chances of survival?
According to the American Heart Association, immediate chest compressions—without mouth-to-mouth—are just as effective in the first few minutes of a sudden cardiac arrest (AHA, 2023). That means you don’t have to hesitate because of the “ick” factor or fear of doing it wrong. Just push hard and fast in the center of the chest at about 100–120 beats per minute.
The key is not to freeze. Even imperfect CPR is better than no CPR. Waiting for emergency responders costs critical minutes. Most out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen at home, so you might be the only one there to help someone you love. We’ll teach you how to spot cardiac arrest, start compressions, and keep your cool.
