A modified version of CPR is making it easier to remember what to do if someone suddenly collapses in front of you.
Experts say continuous-compression CPR, also called hands-only CPR, is easier to learn and perform, and it doesn’t require breathing for the victim. According to the American Heart Association, hands-only CPR can be performed on teens or adults using a compression rhythm that matches the beat of the Bee Gees song, “Stayin’ Alive.”
Immediately after Jeff’s report is a video from “Health & Safety” in England. They posted this video in May of 2015. It has been viewed over 14-million times. The only text with the video “What a reminder that babies really are watching our every move.”

Remember, Hands-Only CPR does not apply to children, infants, victims of drowning, drug overdose, etc. Take the time to learn real CPR-not just the public relations 10 minute version. Visit http://www.disastersurvivalskills for real world free lifesaving training.
