You can double the chance.
For men and women, correct?
Men and women.
Doesn't discriminate.
And you can double the chance of surviving
if you know how to do CPR.
Most of you don't know how to do it.
And most people, when they collapse,
don't get any help, so let's make a difference.
All right, so we're gonna play it out right now.
Okay.
Short, simple, I can teach it in less than five minutes.
Okay, this dummy's just went down.
He just went down in front of us.
Boom!
First thing we do, is we get down
and start to see what's happening.
But it's pretty clear early on
that this is a little bit beyond you.
The guy's not gonna wake up.
So step number one, and don't putz around with this.
Point to someone, you.
Right there.
You get up, yep, please get up.
And walk out there real quick, get help.
911, call help.
Okay, we'll see you later.
Bye-bye!
(audience laughing)
Listen, you gotta be assertive.
You're not gonna throw your hands up.
She's going.
Come back, I was kidding.
She's going.
(audience laughing)
Come back.
Okay, you called 911.
Good job, sit down.
(laughter)
But what happens is, "Help, help me, help me!"
Doesn't work.
Very clear.
Point, go.
Second thing you're gonna do is get over the person,
you're gonna make sure they're not, that they're not awake,
so you know, shake them a little bit.
If they're on their side, roll them on their back.
You need to have the position.
Okay.
Now, you breathe for them.
Okay.
You know the breathing sequence?
Well, puff into the person who's not moving?
(laughter)
I tell you, it's like I said.
I have seen it on TV shows.
You press and then you puff, right?
Exactly, you've all seen that, right?
You've all seen that?
(audience responds)
Forget it!
It's not right.
Don't do that!
It's hands only CPR.
Really?
From now on, no more breathing.
The survival rates are actually better
if you don't bother breathing,
'cause you don't know how to do it right.
And this comes the times stuff happens.
How many times do you push?
How many times do you breathe?
The most important thing is to pump blood to the brain.
Gotcha.
It doesn't have the mantra.
You can hold your breath the whole five minutes
I'm talking, and you're not gonna have a problem.
Right?
You might get uncomfortable, but you'll -
So, blow off the breath, literally.
Nicely done.
Wow.
That's the new mantra, right?
Wow.
All the majors in society, same thing.
So, forget breathing.
This is hands only CPR.
The other thing is, you come across someone,
there's saliva coming out of their mouth,
they've vomited maybe, 'cause they're dying, they need help.
I don't want you thinking squeamishly,
"I don't know if I wanna get involved."
You jump to action.
There's no more breathing.
Gotcha.
Put your main, your dominant hand, over the chest bone
halfway between the nipples.
Gotcha.
Halfway between the nipples, right in that breastbone.
And then put your other hand over it.
All right?
Now lean over the chest.
That's really important, 'cause you gotta
put some force on that.
So you're pushing that, the blood
all the way through the body.
Boom.
And think about it, two inches down,
we're really gonna push.
Now what happens if you break their ribs?
I say "I'm sorry" when they wake up?
(audience laughter)
Yeah.
When you save their life, let them complain to you.
I mean, it's the best thing that could happen.
If someone says, "You saved my life and you broke my rib.
"I feel bruised!"
Right?
Bob Harper came on -
He should feel, ugh, exactly.
You know, Bob Harper, his life was saved
because he went to a gym he had never gone to,
and there was a doctor there who knew how to do CPR.
They fixed him.
Bent over, for 20 minutes they did it.
(applause)
Now, how fast are you going?
You wanna go about 100 times a minute.
That's roughly, you know, if you're singing
the Bee Gees' song, "Stayin Alive,"
but we're gonna do "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," okay?
Okay.
The whole audience.
Ready?
♪ Row, row, row your boat ♪
♪ Gently down the stream ♪
♪ Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily ♪
♪ Life is but a dream ♪
Good, now when do you stop doing chest compressions?
When the EMT arrives?
Thank you.
You don't stop.
Keep going as long as you can.
You keep on, period, you can't stop.
The guy's gonna die.
You have five minutes to keep the person,
'cause after five minutes, the brain starts to die.
So you gotta keep going.
And you have to get over the body and lean into it.
If you're trying to press like this,
all right, you're gonna get tired.
You're gonna get over the body and press down like this.
Now let me give you one of the most practiced important.
All right?
If you drop dead, the person you drop dead next to,
you probably know.
You probably love them.
'Cause you're hanging with them.
Right.
80% of people drop dead at home.
Ugh.
All right?
So the person whose life you're gonna save
is not some stranger,
it's not some dummy in a yellow shirt.
It's someone you know and love and care about dearly.
So these easy steps are achievable.
Now here's the best news of all.
With new technology, we're actually
able to connect each other.
I can begin to alert you that I'm dropping dead.
So if you're in apartment 3A, the guy next door
can run over and see if you're alive.
Mm.
We're not alone.
I actually think our biggest epidemic in America
is loneliness, which we'll talk about separately.
I agree, I agree.
But this is a way we can all chip in.
We can all be heart heroes.
We can all make a difference in each other's lives.
