Red Sox Nation helps build a Nation of Lifesavers with Hands-Only CPR

The American Heart Association is the worldwide leader in resuscitation science, education and training, and publisher of the official Guidelines for CPR. With nearly 3 out of 4 cardiac arrests occurring in homes, knowing how to perform CPR is critically important. More than 350,000 people in the US have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest every year. CPR, especially if performed immediately, could double or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival.

What is Hands-Only CPR?

Hand-Only CPR is a skill everyone can learn. It is as simple as calling 911 if you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse; and then pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest. Research has proven that Hands-Only CPR be equally effective as traditional CPR in the first few minutes of emergency response. Hands-Only CPR is not card credentialed CPR.

Where can I get information on Card Credentialed CPR?

Why should I attend?

Research shows that Hands-Only CPR is just as effective as full CPR when delivered in the first few minutes. Bystanders are more likely to jump in and take action when they know compression-only CPR. You are most likely to perform CPR on someone you know and love.
