Learn. Act. Save a life.

CPR is an emergency lifesaving technique used when breathing or the heartbeat has stopped. Immediate CPR can help keep oxygenated blood moving to the brain and heart until advanced help arrives.

When the heart stops

Cardiac arrest is the abrupt loss of heart function. Brain injury can begin within 4 to 6 minutes without oxygenated blood.

Call emergency services and start CPR immediately. Cardiac arrest is different from a heart attack: a heart attack is a circulation problem; cardiac arrest is an electrical problem that stops the heart from beating.

CPR keeps blood moving

Chest compressions act like a pump to circulate blood to the brain and heart. For a teen or adult who suddenly collapses, Hands-Only CPR is recommended.

1. Check responsiveness and normal breathing.
2. Call emergency services and get an AED.
3. Start chest compressions in the center of the chest.

Push hard. Push fast.

Hands-only CPR technique:

1. Hands centered on the chest.
2. Rate 100 to 120 compressions per minute.
3. Depth at least 2 inches or 5 cm for adults.
4. Allow full chest recoil.
5. Give rescue breaths after 30 compressions: tilt head back and lift chin, seal your mouth, give 2 breaths one second each, and look for chest rise.
6. Repeat cycles of 30 compressions and 2 breaths.

If you are not trained or unsure, call for help and follow dispatcher instructions.

AED: restart the rhythm

An AED analyzes the heart rhythm and can deliver a shock if needed to restore a normal rhythm. Use an AED as soon as it is available.

1. Turn on the AED.
2. Follow the voice prompts.
3. Attach pads to bare chest.
4. Stand clear during analysis or shock.
5. Resume CPR immediately after the shock, or if no shock is advised.
