How To Perform Compression-Only CPR (with the American Red Cross)

[Gregg3509]

Too exhausted to continue? That persons life is in your hands.

[RcPlaneBoy2011]

what if it is a woman chest and you are a kid?

[OnlineCPR]

It is good to find the right training for CPR. It has changed since I was little so this video has been helpful to me.

[lovsoup]

hands-only CPR is a Myth that is NOT better than the real thing. Having been updated with my CPR recently the instructor said if you think this would work..... Hold your breath for 8 min and get back to us........ mouth to mouth is needed!!

[contrienrico]

@lovsoup that's not right. Mouth to mouth it's important but untrained people could lose lot time to do that in wrong way... so it's spare time. You also need a mask or similar that only few peolpe have.

After that, it's not like hold breath for 8 minutes because chest compressions are similar to breath ad a minimal part of air could moves in lung. Anyway world record of apnoea is 18 minutes, and it's still alave! :)

@ jabarimclain; Only if they can jump on ur face.

[marneygundlach]

Knowing CPR & how to use an AED are crucial ways to save a life. After a heart attack, EVERY MINUTE that passes means a 10% decrease chance of surviving.

In response to comments...

shout "are you ok" in case the person is asleep - CPR would be a rude awakening!

non-medical folks don't need to do the breaths; compressions alone are good at circulating the blood & oxygen

lay people don't need to check for a pulse because studies have shown they are not good at finding it (no offense)

[MyPinky2003]

@marneygundlach Shut the fuck up. You prob. got that off fucking Wikipedia.

[kfoolable]

why would you shout "ARE YOU OK??are you retarded ?!?! the persons infront of you lying down on the floor unconcious already and you're gonna ask them are they ok ?!? oh c'mon !! ahahahahahahhahahaha !!lol .. xD

[contrienrico]

@kfoolable you can find peple lying down that are only sleepeing or are drunk... it's not difficult...

[888YoyoChannel888]

So is it more effective to do ONLY compressions? Need real answer please(i'm 12 so i don't know much terms).

[contrienrico]

@888YoyoChannel888 Mouth to mouth breathing it's important if you really know how to do it, you have to follow a complet course of BLS and have a lot of practice.

Compression only cpr it's a good way to save a life, because with only compression you don't lose time to move to perform breathing and it's perfect when you are not trained or you don't know the persons that you have to rescue (no infections problem!!).

So first learn compression only cpr, then you can improve with breathing and AED!

[mamii2lovelii]

they missed 2 breaths before the compressions...

[contrienrico]

@mamii2lovelii 2 breath before compression are not included in ILCOR guidelines since 2005, and this is confirmed in ILCOR 2010. American Heart Association suggest the CAB protocol since 2010 that bring forward chest compression.

Sorry for my english but I'm Italian.

Excelent. As an MD and Certified Instructor Trainer I teach my students this technic additionaly to the AHA 2005 Guidelines.

[laffstv]

Wat if da dude hoos tranined in the household gets a heart attack?

[AbbyTripleX]

That reminds me of something a camp conseler at camp told me once. "Mouth to mouth resuscitate, what a way to get a date!"

[ferrari24680]

lol 0:44 are you ok?

wat do do you think??? god talk about stupid

[PetterNaw]

You do that because you might get a reaction

[zed617]

They don't ALWAYS pass out.

[5lkk]

@zed617 No 1 in the video said they did. The instructions started out by saying if U come across a person who appears to be unconscious do this. I would have included to check for a pulse as well.

[Shrubbs]

0:53  Joaquin Phoenix!?

[jaystreete]

bravo, as a lifeguard I cannot stress how important CPR is!!

[mubd1234]

Typical america:

"How did you resuscitate me?"

"Compression-Only CPR"

"You mean you TOUCHED me while I was unconscious?"

"Well..yeah."

"I AM SUING YOU!"

[kimbim7846]
