We are proud to present you
with this virtual hands only.
CPR training in partnership with
the American Heart Association
and Methodist Healthcare System.
Our shared goal is to train 10,000
members of our community so thank you
for helping us get closer to our goal.
The American Heart Association
recommends hands only CPR for teens
and adults who suddenly collapse
by the end of this training.
You'll be able to share how to learn hands
only CPR by watching a fund 62nd video.
Talk about when to use hands only CPR
and know what to do when you call 911.
What is CPR?
CPR stands for cardio.
Pulmonary resuscitation by pushing
hard and fast on someone's chest.
You are acting as their external heart.
By doing so,
you're helping to pump blood to the
vital organs such as the brain.
So what is hands?
Only CPR hands only CPR is CPR
without mouth to mouth breaths it
just takes 2 steps to save a life
number one call 911 and two push
hard and fast in the center of the
chest at least 100 to 120 times per
minute until the person responds
or emergency personnel arrive
hands only CPR CPR with just chest
compressions has been proven to be
as effective as CPR with breaths.
In the first few minutes of an out
of hospital, sudden cardiac arrest.
So what is cardiac arrest when someone
collapses and stops breathing?
They are most likely in cardiac arrest.
This is when the heart stops beating.
Cardiac arrest is triggered by an
electrical malfunction that causes
the heart to have an irregular
beat when the heart doesn't beat,
it cannot pump blood to the brain,
lungs and other vital organs.
It may be abrupt and unexpected.
It can happen to anyone at anytime.
Did you know that seven out of 10
cardiac arrests occur at a home or residence?
This means that the life you save
may be a loved one with all of US
spending more time at home right now.
This is more important than ever.
How can you tell the difference between
cardiac arrest versus a heart attack?
A heart attack is a circulation problem.
Blood flow to the heart is blocked when
a person is having a heart attack,
they are usually talking to you
grabbing their arm,
telling you where they are
feeling discomfort.
You do not need to administer CPR on a
person that is having a heart attack.
You just need to call 911 and get them
to the hospital as soon as possible.
Cardiac arrest is an electrical problem.
The heart malfunctions and suddenly
stops beating.
When a person is in cardiac arrest,
they are not talking to you.
They are not responsive and not breathing.
That is why you must act fast.
Call 911 and start compressions.
You can think of a heart attack
as a plumbing problem and cardiac
arrest as an electrical problem.
Just to reiterate,
cardiac arrest is when the heart stops
beating. It is not a heart attack,
but heart attack may cause cardiac arrest.
Only one of 10 people who suffer cardiac
arrests out of the hospital will survive.
Cardiac arrest can happen
to anyone at any time.
Sadly, a very small percentage of people
who go into cardiac arrest outside
of the hospital live only about 10%.
That's only one in ten of
our loved ones who survive,
and victims may seem perfectly fine.
They appear to be healthy.
They may not have any previous
known problems with their heart.
Want to know why every minute is so critical?
Did you know that for every minute
that passes without CPR a person's
chance of survival decreases by 10%?
That means if you wait 5 to
7 minutes for EMS to arrive,
that person's chance of survival
has already decreased by 50 to 70%.
I want to reiterate what I
said earlier hands.
Only CPR should only be administered
on adults or teens who suddenly
collapse and stop breathing.
It is not for use with
infants and young children.
Traditional CPR needs to be used with babies,
and small children.
Have you ever had to call 911?
Does the thought of doing
so make you nervous?
After you dial 911,
stay on the phone until the dispatcher
provides further instruction.
Remember if you are in a group of
people point and directly assign
someone to call 911 if you are alone,
simply dial 911 and put it on
speakerphone as a bystander.
Don't be afraid, your actions can only help.
Remember when you come across
someone who has suddenly collapsed,
your first step in performing
CPR is to call 911.
They'll ask you about the emergency.
They'll ask you details about the location.
Be specific.
This is especially true when
calling from your mobile phone,
because the physical address of where you
are is not linked to your phone number.
For example,
don't just give the address,
give the address and instructions
on how to reach you.
I'm on the 2nd floor to the right.
Or I'm in apartment building 4 take a
right inside the complex and lead them
to you with specific instructions.
Every minute is critical if you
speak Spanish only tell the
dispatcher heart stopped.
Spanish interpreter answering the
dispatchers questions will not
delay the arrival of help remain
on the line until the dispatcher
tells you it's OK to hang up.
We're about to watch a brief video
that will help us prepare to act
if someone suddenly collapses only
30% of our community is prepared
to act in an emergency situation.
70% are not prepared to act.
Don't know CPR or their training has lapsed,
making them uncomfortable to respond.
We're about to change that and
empower you to save a life.
If you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse,
it's important to act fast.
Helping to save a life is
easier than you might think.
Just start hands only CPR.
The first step is to send someone
to call 911 or call 911 yourself,
then get directly over the victim.
Put the heel of one hand in
the center of the chest,
then put your other hand on top of the first.
Then push hard and fast in the center
of the chest until help arrives.
Giving 100 to 120 compressions per minute,
which is about the same tempo
as the song Stayin alive.
Let's hope you never have to use hands,
only CPR, but if you see a teen
or adult suddenly collapse,
don't be afraid to try it.
Remember call 911,
then push hard and fast in the center
of the chest until help arrives.
And help save a life.
Let's review some of the common
questions that people have
when learning hands only CPR.
I'm sure you were already thinking
about some of these yourself.
Can I get into legal
trouble for performing CPR?
Have you heard of the Good Samaritan law?
They vary from state to state,
but the good news is that here in Texas,
as long as you are rendering aid,
you are protected.
What if someone has an injury?
Can I make the situation worse by doing CPR?
No. A person whose heart stopped
must have CPR to survive.
Your willingness to help by
administering hands only.
CPR can only help.
I only watched a short video.
I have no other formal training.
What if I do it wrong?
Without CPR this person will not survive.
Your actions will only help.
You are their best chance of
survival you must remember.
A doctor can fix a broken bone.
He cannot always bring someone back to life.
So what if someone collapses and
I'm worried they have COVID-19.
Can I still perform CPR?
The answer is yes.
Simply protect your face with a
mask or face covering and do the
same to the person receiving CPR.
Cover their face with a mask or cloth
called 911 and begin compressions.
OK,
so let's review the two steps to save
a life number one call 911 number
2 push hard and fast
in the center of the
chest until help arrives.
Ministering at least 100 to
120 compressions per minute.
You want to administer compressions
until either emergency help arrives
or the person becomes responsive.
