CPR or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is used to increase the chances of survival in those who suffer cardiac arrest - the sudden loss of heart function. The majority of these situations occur outside of the hospital, either at home or at work. Signs of cardiac arrest include sudden loss of responsiveness (no response when tapping on the shoulder of the victim) and the absence of normal breathing (the victim takes a deep breath when you tilt the head and lift the chin for 5-10 seconds).
Take a CPR certification course may be necessary in your line of work. Training can increase your effectiveness and confidence in the response to an emergency. Even if you are not certified by a formal course, you can still help save a life. Hands-Only CPR is CPR without breaths mouth-to-mouth. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), it is recommended for use by people who see an adult suddenly collapse in an "out-of-hospital" setting (at home, work or public). The AHA always recommend CPR compressions and breaths for infants and children and victims of drowning, drug overdose, or people who collapse due to breathing problems. Each CPR minute is not provided, the chances of survival a victim falls 7-10 percent. Keep calm and push hard!
