Visit cprfirsttime.com for more info on CPR and a CPR game! People over 50 are the most likely to need CPR for cardiac arrest. And they probably won't buy you dinner first. Are you ready for your first time doing CPR? If someone has a cardiac arrest you should give CPR as quickly as possible. Even if it's your first time doing CPR, it's better than nothing. Remember to call 000 then begin compressions. You should aim for 2 compressions a second and compress their chest 1 or 5cm while giving CPR.
www.ProCPR.org As of April, 2008, the American Heart Association began promoting hands-only CPR for lay rescuers. Hands-only CPR helps encourage lay rescuers to get involved who may not otherwise help. With this new technique, rescuers deliver 1.5 to 2 inch deep compressions at a rate of approximately 100 compressions per minute without the need to deliver rescue breaths in between. Hands-only CPR eliminates the fear of transmitting disease by removing the mouth-to-mouth component of CPR. 6 Update - In honor of CPR Awareness Week, ProCPR.org has created a Facebook Application to train people how to perform hands-only CPR and use an AED. You can find the application at apps.facebook.com
