Hands-only CPR
You Can Save a Life!
Here are the 7 basic steps you should know when you find
anyone down that may need your help!
- Check responsiveness (Shake and shout: Are you alright?)
- Place person on the ground on their back.
- Tell someone to call-9-1-1 or if alone call 9-1-1 yourself.
- Position yourself close to the person with your knees touching their arm or chest.
- Lace your hands together and place on the center/middle of the person’s chest.
- Push hard and fast (to beat of Staying Alive with a goal of 100 times a minute and 2 inches deep.)
- Keep going until help arrives.
Please know - the only way to make the person worse is to do nothing!
You can start immediately and tell 9-1-1 responders when they arrive to take the patient to Adventist Health Bakersfield’s nationally accredited Resuscitation Center!
Working together we can save lives!
