My daughter shared this eye-opening video on Continuous Chest Compress CPR,with me today. I instantly felt led to get this information out to as many people as I can, and for that reason I am posting it on my blog. I hope that you will take the time to not only read this blog, but also watch the video above. By your knowing this information, you might just have the opportunity to save someone’s life.
I was amazed to learn that more Americans die from sudden cardiac arrest in three days than died in the 9-1-1 attacks. I hope that you will feel compelled to learn the Continuous Chest Compression CPR procedure. By using this method you can double a person’s change of surviving cardiac arrest.
If you have not been comfortable with the thought of mouth-to-mouth contact you will want to learn Continuous Chest Compression CPR. This is a hands-only method. This was developed at the University of Arizona College of Medicine by research pioneers, including Gordon A. Ewy, MD, in hopes of making the odds greater that a bystander will step up to the plate and help someone suffering from cardiac arrest.
Sarver Heart Center’s video (shown above) was developed to give people easy-to-learn instructions for performing Continuous Chest Compression CPR. If you forget the name of my blog site, please just direct people to YouTube when it is also posted.
Truly, this six-minute video can mean the difference of life or death to a person in cardiac arrest. For every one minute that goes by without a person receiving help there is a 10% less chance of survival.
Below are written directions for performing Continuous Chest Compression CPR.
If you see someone collapse who isn’t responsive and has trouble breathing:
- Tell someone to call 911 or make the call yourself.
- Position the person with the back on the floor. Place the heel of one hand on the center of the chest (between the nipples) and the heel of the other hand on top of the first. Lock your elbows, position your shoulders over your hands and use your upper-body weight to “fall” downward. Lift your hands slightly each time to allow the chest wall to recoil. Try to compress at 100 beats per minute and about 2 inches deep until emergency help arrives.
Note: Mouth-to-mouth CPR still is recommended for drowning and very small children.

Please take the time to pass this information about Continuous Chest Compress CPR along to your friends and family. Unlike some of the funny emails we all receive (and enjoy) this can save a person’s life!
Thanks for caring and sharing!
