You never know when you’ll need to save a life. “Be prepared, not scared” is an excellent motto to say throughout your day-to-day life. It is especially true when it comes to knowing how to perform CPR. In the US alone, almost 500,000 people die of cardiac arrest. Sadly, studies also suggest that only less than half of those who suffer receive CPR assistance from a bystander. CPR or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation helps maintain blood flow to the brain, ultimately saving someone’s life (American Heart Association [AHA], 2022).

Quick Tips:

Before Starting CPR

  1. Call 911 and get the AED (can be done by someone else)
    • 911 dispatchers can instruct you on how to help
  2. Is the area safe for you?
  3. Check if the person is responsive
  4. Check if the person is breathing

If unresponsive and not breathing normally, START CPR!

No Training? Do Hands-Only CPR!

Hands-Only CPR

  1. Push hard and fast on the center of the person’s chest
  2. Give 100-120 compressions a minute (to the tune of “Stayin’ Alive,” by the Bee Gees)
  3. As soon as the AED arrives, turn it on and follow the audible instructions
