Did you know you don’t need to give rescue breaths for CPR to work in most adult emergencies? That’s a common myth we hear all the time. What really matters for most adults who suddenly collapse is high-quality chest compressions : keeping the heart pumping blood to vital organs until help arrives.
Hands-only CPR has proven to save lives by getting blood moving quickly and effectively. So, if you witness someone collapse and they’re not breathing normally, just start pushing hard and fast in the center of their chest. Keep going until EMTs arrive! (If you’re ever unsure about breaths or compressions, remember: doing something is better than doing nothing.)
