Two Steps to Save a Life

When someone's heart stops, every second counts. You can be the difference between life and death by using Hands-Only CPR, a fast and simple way to help until emergency responders arrive.

Here's How You Can Help:

Immediately call 911 if you see someone suddenly collapse. Time is critical, getting professional help on the way is the first and most important step.

Place your hands in the center of the chest and begin pushing hard and fast, about 100 to 120 beats per minute. That’s roughly the rhythm of songs like Stayin’ Alive or Crazy in Love. Push at least 2 inches deep and don’t stop until help arrives. 

Don't Drop the Beat!

Know it. Feel it. Push it. Keep it.

You don’t need to be a doctor to save a life. By acting quickly and confidently, you can keep blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until paramedics take over.
