Maybe you thought there was only one type of CPR, but this is absolutely not the case! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of CPR that you can perform, standard and hands only. We\u2019re going to get into <a href=\"\/training_video\/hands-only-cpr\">hands-only CPR<\/a> specifically, including what it is and how to perform it properly. Read on to learn how you can make a difference in an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is hands-only CPR? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This answer is pretty straightforward. As you might have guessed, in this method, you only use your hands to perform chest compressions to keep blood flowing. In a standard CPR procedure, you would do 30 chest compressions followed by two rescue breaths and then repeat the cycle. With hands-only CPR, you don\u2019t have to worry about rescue breaths, just compressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why would you use hands-only CPR? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be wondering why you would use hands-only\nCPR instead of the more common method with compressions and rescue breaths.\nWhile there are situations where rescue breaths are appropriate, there are\nreasons to use hands-only CPR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First thing\u2019s first\u2013 when would you use hands-only CPR? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>When a person suffers from cardiac\narrest outside of the hospital. Within the first few minutes of a cardiac\narrest, hands-only CPR is an appropriate intervention until emergency services\narrive. If the person stops breathing, rescue breaths can be initiated because\noxygen is necessary for brain function.&nbsp; <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If you are a bystander of an\naccident and the victim is someone that you do not know. Many people feel\nuncomfortable putting their mouth to a stranger\u2019s lips, even when it could save\na life. Some people also might not feel confident that they know how to do\nrescue breaths correctly. These concerns are valid and part of the reason that\nhands-only CPR was developed. It has been just as effective as traditional CPR\nin some cases. Please use your best discretion. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Why might someone choose to do hands-only CPR\nover CPR with rescue breaths? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We touched on the fact that bystanders may be\nuncomfortable giving rescue breaths to strangers unless it is absolutely\nnecessary \u2013 and sometimes not even then. While you should do whatever you can\nto save someone\u2019s life, there is always the concern that a person may be\ninfected with a communicable disease. If you are particularly vulnerable to\nthose things, you may choose to do hands-only CPR instead. Only do it if the\nsituation calls for it, though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you perform hands-only CPR on\nan adult? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you understand when and why to perform\nhands-only CPR, let\u2019s get into how to go about it. Follow instructions as\nclosely as possible for the best results. Paying attention to the details\nincreases the chances that the person you are rescuing survives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If you see someone suddenly\ncollapse, try to get their attention. Tap them on the shoulder and loudly ask\nif they are okay. If they do not respond and don\u2019t appear to be moving or\nbreathing, prepare to perform CPR. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>First, call 911. You need both\nhands and all of your focus for CPR and once you start, you really shouldn\u2019t\nstop so call emergency services beforehand. They will get to you quickly as\nlong as you call for help right away. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Make sure the person is lying face up on a flat surface. Keep the airway open, making sure that there are no obstructions and that the head is tilted slightly upward. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Begin chest compressions by\nplacing the heel of one hand on the center of the person\u2019s chest and the other\nhand on top. Interlock your fingers and press down with the heel of your hand,\nkeeping the elbows straight. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Do at least 100 compressions per\nminute and press down at least two inches into the chest. An easy way to make\nsure you\u2019re using the proper speed is to use the beat of \u201cStayin\u2019 Alive\u201d by the\nBee Gees as it matches the tempo of compressions. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Keep doing this until someone else\ncan take over or until medical personnel arrives. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which is more effective: hands-only or\ntraditional CPR? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The efficacy of hands-only CPR has been\nquestioned because CPR with rescue breaths has been proven effective time and\ntime again. The truth is that traditional CPR is almost always preferable to\nthe hands-only method. If you can give rescue breaths, you should, especially\nin cases where children or infants are involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can\u2019t give rescue breaths, hands-only CPR is still far better than standing by and doing nothing. Most cases of cardiac arrest out of the hospital result in people dying, especially if no one jumps in to help. Be the hero that someone needs; perform the CPR technique that is best for the situation and your comfort level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can you get CPR certified? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though you do not have to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.procpr.org\/blog\/online-cpr\/will-my-state-accept-online-cpr-certification\">CPR certified<\/a> to try to use it in the event of an emergency, it is always better to be as prepared as possible. The more you learn, the more prepared you are to help someone survive.  In the past, CPR certification required finding a class in your area and trying to find the time to take one. That is no longer the case! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.procpr.org\/\">ProCPR<\/a> offers CPR training online for a low cost and you only need to pay if you pass the course and need your certificate. It takes very little time out of your day to learn these essential skills. You have nothing to lose by getting educated on proper ways to perform CPR, but someone may have everything to lose if you don\u2019t. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you hear about CPR on television, the news, or anywhere else, most people do not take the time to get into the different types that can be performed.
