What would you like to do?
Two steps. Anyone can do it.
Hands-Only CPR
If a teen or adult suddenly collapses, is not responding and is not breathing normally:
-
Call 911
Put the phone on speaker. If someone is with you, send them to get the AED.
-
Push hard and fast in the center of the chest
100 to 120 pushes a minute — to the beat of “Stayin’ Alive”. Don’t stop until help arrives or someone takes over.
Official American Heart Association video
Practice the beat
Tap Start and push on the table on every beat to practice. Turn your sound on.
110 beats per minute
AED (defibrillator)
If an AED (defibrillator) is nearby, open it and turn it on — it talks you through every step. Keep pushing on the chest until it tells you to stop.
