Hands Only CPR

Hands-only CPR (Link)


Write the steps of Hands-Only CPR
Very first, tap the person, ask if they're okay, (you don't want to do CPR on a passed out person) look, listen and feel for any signs of breathing, shake their shoulders. If they're unresponsive have someone else call 911 (if you're alone, you'll have to do it) and locate and AED. Turn on AED and follow automated instructions.

If you cannot locate an AED then just press down with your hands in the middle of the chest, push hard and fast, push at least 2 inches down, and keep the beat at 100 BPM, until the paramedics come.

Write a paragraph (at least 5 sentences) about why knowing Hands-Only CPR is important how it could impact your future. 
There are many cardiac arrests in a year, and one of them could be my family or myself. I would need to know this so I could help my family (or friends) and I would want others to know so that they could help me. It would be devastating to be in a situation where I could have helped if I had only known how to help. So now that I do, I can help others if ever the chance arises. And hopefully someone would help me if I ever was the victim in this situation.
