CPR is getting easier
Even if you haven't had any training you can still save a life. The American Heart Association says some chest compressions (by an untrained person) are better than no compressions at all, with placing less emphasis on rescue breathing except in the case of children. If you don't know CPR and don't plan on taking a course, watch this video to have a basic idea of how to perform chest compressions. The chest compressions shown on this video are for adults.
So basically, if someone collapses and has no pulse remember to first call 911, then begin chest compressions until help arrives. CPR saves lives. How many of us know CPR?
