saving a life

Saving a Life Sometimes saving someone’s life is easier then you may think. CPR classes have become more accessible and easier to understand for the average person in the last five years. In years prior CPR was normally something that only people who were required to have it, such as a medical professional, would obtain it. Since then the AHA has come up with different forms of CPR such as hands only CPR which is easier and safer for the average person to perform in everyday life. Now saving a life isn’t only something that a medical professional can do but something everyone can do with little to no training. AHA has recently made it easier for the average person to perform CPR without as much worry of contamination and the need for any resources. With hands only CPR, people are now instructed that there is no need to breath for the person that you are performing it on. By only having to do chest compressions people are now less likely to have any type of cross contamination issues. It is also much easier now to perform because there are no rules or order of steps that you need to follow while performing hands only CPR. The sooner CPR is started on an individual the better chance they have of survival. With less worries and little to no training CPR is now something that more people are likely to perform when they see someone go down. In turn this can increase the survival rate for people who experience cardiac arrest. CPR can save a life as long as it’s started quickly. Therefor the AHA came up with and effective way to bring CPR to a level that is still effective yet easy enough for anyone to do it. So in learning hands only CPR you could save the life of a friend or family member or maybe even someone that you have never met.
