How to do Hands-only CPR
When somebody collapses in front of you, what do you do?
-
Check the person over. If they are not responsive and not breathing, then their heart has stopped working and they are having a cardiac arrest.
- Now, call 999. Then you do Hands-only CPR.
- Lock your fingers together, knuckles up. Then push down, right on the sovereign. Push down five or six centimetres. That’s about two inches. Push hard and fast about two times a second, like to the beat of Stayin’ Alive. Don’t worry about hurting someone. A cracked rib can be mended – just concentrate on saving a life.
- Keep this up until the ambulance arrives.
So don’t forget. Check him over. Call 999. Push hard and fast to Stayin’ Alive. It works.
Hands-only CPR. It’s not as hard as it looks.
