Hands on CPR
The City of Bedford offers a FREE, non-certified, Hands Only CPR course as taught by the American Heart Association.
The AHA says
Hands-only CPR is “as effective in the first few minutes as conventional CPR for cardiac arrest at home, at work or in public.” Hands-only CPR refers to continuous chest compressions without rescue breaths. Some rescuers aren’t willing or able to deliver rescue breaths, but they can still jump in and help by providing hands-only CPR, which will still greatly improve the victim’s chance of survival.
Hands only CPR involves pushing hard and fast on the center of the victim’s chest. The purpose of hands-only CPR is to get blood pumping through the victim’s body until paramedics arrive on the scene and perform more advanced life support.
