What are chest compressions or CPR?
- CPR or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating. Immediate CPR can double or triple chances of survival after cardiac arrest.
- Keeping the blood flow active even partially extends the opportunity for a successful resuscitation once trained medical staff arrive on site.
- In adult victims of cardiac arrest, it is reasonable for rescuers to perform chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120/min and to a depth of at least 2 inches (5 cm) for an average adult, while avoiding excessive chest compression depths, greater than 2.4 inches (6 cm).
- For the general public or bystanders who witness an adult suddenly collapse, compression-only CPR or Hands-Only CPR. Hands-Only CPR is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths. It is recommended for use by people who see a teen or adult suddenly collapse in an out-of-hospital setting.
