If you need to perform CPR in an emergency, you will most likely be trying to save the life of someone you love. The statistics:

• 80% of out-of hospital cardiac arrests happening in private or residential settings 
• Only 41 percent of people who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest get the immediate help that they need before professional help arrives.   

The good news is that Hands-Only CPR has been shown to be as effective as conventional CPR for sudden cardiac arrest at home, at work or in public and can double or event triple a person’s chance of survival.  

It only takes 60-seconds to learn how to save a life.  Watch the Hands-Only instructional video and share it with the important people in your life.
