What is
Hands-On CPR?
Empowering Everyday People to Save Lives
Hands-on CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is a lifesaving technique used to restore blood circulation and breathing in a person whose heart has stopped beating or who is not breathing.
It involves performing chest compressions and rescue breathing to manually circulate oxygen-rich blood to the body's vital organs, such as the brain and heart, until emergency medical help arrives.
​
CPR can be performed by anyone with the proper training, and it is a vital skill that can save lives in emergency situations.
