CPR has never been easier to learn or perform. New guidelines from the American Heart Association call for "Hands Only CPR" or compression only CPR.

  • In 2005, AHA guidelines dropped the pulse check for lay rescuers because it is too difficult. Even doctors and nurses have a difficult time finding a pulse under stressful conditions. If an unresponsive adult sudden-collapse victim is not breathing normally, start hands-only CPR. In fact, many cardiac arrest victims are still gasping but need CPR. The best immediate care is to keep the heart pumping without delay.
