๐ซ โCough CPRโ Is Not a Real Lifesaving Technique ๐ซ
Thereโs a popular myth floating around that coughing repeatedly during a heart attackโsometimes called โCough CPRโโcan keep your heart going until help arrives. This is false and potentially dangerous.
According to the American Heart Association, โCough CPRโ is not recommended for laypeople and is not a substitute for real CPR. In a true cardiac emergency, coughing wonโt restore a normal heartbeatโand wasting time trying it could delay effective care.
โ
The correct response if someone collapses and isnโt breathing normally:
1๏ธโฃ Call 911 immediately
2๏ธโฃ Start hands-only CPR โ push hard and fast in the center of the chest
Misinformation can cost lives. Help spread the truth and be prepared to act.
