Understanding the Importance of CPR
During a cardiac arrest event, where CPR needs to be performed, the role that the public plays in the Chain of Survival is absolutely crucial, in fact it dictates the outcome of the patient.
Hands-Only CPR
In 2008, the American Heart Association ruled that chest compressions alone (Hands Only CPR), can help sustain an adult who has just suffered a cardiac arrest until paramedics arrive. The lungs and blood contain enough oxygen to keep vital organs healthy for the first few minutes, as long as someone provides quality chest compressions.
