If you see a teen or adult
suddenly collapse,
-
it is important to act fast.
-
Helping to save a life is easier
than you might think.
-
Just start hands-only CPR.
-
The first step is
to ask someone to call 911
-
and to get an AED, or call 911 yourself
-
and put your phone on speaker mode
-
so the operator can assist you.
-
Then get directly over the victim.
-
Put the heel of one hand
in the center of the chest,
-
and put your other hand
on top of the first.
-
(upbeat music begins)
-
Then push hard and fast in the
center of the chest until help arrives.
-
It's important to push giving 100 to 120
compressions per minute,
-
which is about the same
tempo as the song, Stayin' Alive,
-
or the rate of music you're
listening to right now.
-
(upbeat music continues)
-
Let's hope you never have
to use hands-only CPR,
-
but know that CPR combined
-
with using an AED provides the best
-
chance of saving a life.
-
If possible, use an AED
every time you provide CPR.
-
Again., if you see a teen
-
or adult suddenly collapse,
don't be afraid
-
to start hands-only CPR.
-
Remember, call 911 and
ask someone to get an AED.
-
Then push hard and fast
in the center of the chest
-
until the AED and help arrives.
-
Your actions can help save a life.
