Hands-Only CPR
Every year, over 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside
hospitals, and about 90 percent of those are fatal,
according the American Heart Association. If performed
immediately, though, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
can double or even triple a person's chances of survival.
If a teen or adult collapses near you, the AHA recommends
you follow these simple steps:
1. Dial 911
2. Push hard and fast in the middle of the chest to a
rhythm of 100 beats per minute (about the rhythm of the
song "Staying Alive").
Betsy Harris, RN, BSN, clinical education specialist with
CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier Health System, suggests
finding other songs with a 100-beats-per-minute rhythm
online. Add them to your playlist, and be prepared
for anything.
