Bystander CPR (when CPR is provided by a non-medical professional) is key to buying precious time for a person in cardiac arrest. The victim’s heart isn’t pumping blood, starving the brain and other vital organs of the oxygen and nutrients they need to function.

Hands-Only CPR is widely recommended for bystanders – like you – over conventional CPR (chest compressions and rescue breaths). Hands-Only CPR, designed to be simple and effective, can be a game-changer in the mission to improve cardiac arrest survival.
