CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) can save a life when someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped. If a person collapses and isn’t responding, call emergency services right away and start CPR if you’re trained (or follow dispatcher instructions). Push hard and fast in the center of the chest—steady compressions help keep blood flowing to the brain until help arrives. If an AED (defibrillator) is available, use it as soon as possible and follow the voice prompts. Learning CPR is a simple skill that can make an extraordinary difference.
