SUOne CPR fact you're probably missing!
Every year hundreds of thousands of people die from cardiac arrest, and most of those happen outside the hospital. The majority even happen at home. Yet fewer than half receive CPR from someone nearby.
Compression only CPR helps untrained bystanders act faster, but medical professionals add rescue breathing because oxygen matters. The problem is most people do not carry the equipment or know how to ventilate properly.
If you have a compact bag valve mask and know how to position the airway and deliver controlled breaths with good compressions, you can give someone a much better chance of surviving cardiac arrest.
Comment “MICROBVM” if you want one you can actually carry and learn to use properly.
