Myth: You have to give mouth-to-mouth to save a life.

Fact: Hands-only CPR: pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest: can be just as effective for adults in the first few minutes of cardiac arrest. If you aren't trained in rescue breaths or aren't comfortable, don't stop! Your hands can keep a heart going.

Worried you’ll hurt someone by doing CPR? Here’s the truth: the real risk is doing nothing at all. CPR is meant to save lives, and even if it sometimes causes minor injuries, it’s almost always worth it if the person’s heart has stopped. Wouldn’t you want someone to try if you needed help? Most experts agree: taking action can make all the difference. At Wicked Safety Training, we teach practical skills so you’ll feel confident and prepared to help. A small injury heals, but a life lost cannot be replaced. You can be the reason someone comes home to their family. Ready to learn more or refresh your skills? You’ve got this!

Ever watched a movie where CPR instantly brings someone back to life? In reality, it's not quite that dramatic: but it's always worth trying. CPR doesn’t guarantee someone will wake up, but it does double or even triple the chance of survival after cardiac arrest, keeping oxygen flowing until emergency help arrives. Every minute without CPR lowers survival chances: so any effort counts! Whether you're at home, work, or out in the community, your CPR skills could save a life, even if the outcome isn't always like Hollywood portrays. Want to be truly prepared? Come learn hands-on with Wicked Safety Training, where real heroes are made every day!

Did you know you don’t need to give rescue breaths for CPR to work in most adult emergencies? That’s a common myth we hear all the time. What really matters for most adults who suddenly collapse is high-quality chest compressions : keeping the heart pumping blood to vital organs until help arrives.

Hands-only CPR has proven to save lives by getting blood moving quickly and effectively. So, if you witness someone collapse and they’re not breathing normally, just start pushing hard and fast in the center of their chest. Keep going until EMTs arrive! (If you’re ever unsure about breaths or compressions, remember: doing something is better than doing nothing.)

Ever seen someone gasp during a medical emergency and thought they were coming back? It’s a common misconception that can lead to stopping life-saving help too soon.

For today’s Myth Monday, let’s clear up a big one: "You should stop CPR if the person starts gasping."

In reality, those gasps: often called agonal gasps: are not normal breathing. They can sound like snoring, snorting, or labored groaning. It’s actually a reflex from the brain, not a sign that the person is breathing effectively on their own. If you stop CPR now, you're stopping the flow of oxygen they desperately need.

Here is what you should do instead:
1. Stay calm and keep those chest compressions going.
2. Ensure 911 has been called immediately.
3. Get an AED on the scene as fast as possible and follow the voice prompts.

We want everyone from Woburn to Medford to feel ready to step up when it matters most. Understanding these small details makes a huge difference in an emergency.

Did you know about agonal gasping before today?
