Hands-Only CPR

Hands-Only CPR is a life-saving technique used when someone has stopped breathing or their heart has stopped beating. It involves quickly calling emergency services, then performing chest compressions with your hands placed firmly in the center of the person's chest. The goal is to manually pump the heart to keep blood flowing to vital organs until professional help arrives. This method avoids mouth-to-mouth breaths and emphasizes rapid, continuous compressions at a steady rate of about 100-120 per minute. Hands-Only CPR is easy to learn and can significantly increase the chance of survival in emergency situations.
