Hands-Only CPR: An initiative that can help save more lives

On March 31, an important advisory statement on “hands-only” (compression-only) CPR was published in Circulation. This statement clarifies the 2005 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC, which included the recommendation that laypersons – or bystanders – should perform hands-only CPR if they are unable or unwilling to provide rescue breaths.

What is hands-only CPR and what does it mean for you? Visit our Hands-Only CPR Consumer Web Site to find out more about this lifesaving initiative.

If you are an AHA instructor or Training Center, visit the Instructor Network to view the instructor Web cast and download the tools you’ll need to incorporate Hands-Only CPR into your classes.
