CPR and WHY you should know it!

Why should everyone in your workplace should know CPR? Simply stated because it saves lives. It could be a life of a loved one or a life of a guest or friend. The American Heart Association and other companies have made it easy for you to not only learn CPR but also has made CPR easier to administer.

Why should you know CPR? Because of the following reasons:
  • Sudden Cardiac Arrest is the #1 cause of deaths in America
  • Immediate, effective CPR could more than double a victim's chance of survival
  • Knowing and performing CPR can more than double survival for a SCA victim

The Hands-Only CPR is the new way to save lives and even has a "catchy tune" to go along with it.
If you happen to witness someone collapse there are two steps:
  • Call 911
  • Push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of the disco song from the 80's "Stayin' Alive."


  • Push on the chest at a rate of at least 100 beats per minute.
     
  • Push to the beat of "Stayin' Alive" and you could save a life.
