CPR:  Just Chest Compressions To Save Lives?

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique that involves a combination of rescue breathing (mouth to mouth)  and chest compressions delivered to victims in cardiac arrest.

In my opinion, this is probably the most useful skill you will ever learn in your life.

Why is CPR important?

• An estimated 310,000 Americans die each year of cardiac arrest. Only about 6 percent of those who are stricken outside a hospital survive.
• CPR allows oxygenated blood to circulate to your vital organs such as the brain and heart and doubles the likelihood of survival for victims of cardiac arrest.
