Hands-Only CPR
Hands-Only CPR is CPR without giving breaths, meaning there is no mouth-to-mouth contact. Recent guidelines developed by the American Heart Association promote Hands-Only CPR as an acceptable way for a bystander to help a victim suffering from cardiac arrest.
The method is gaining in popularity because it’s an attractive option to bystanders who are usually less than willing to give mouth-to-mouth.
