This document provides instructions for performing hands-only CPR. It begins by outlining the learning objectives of calling 911, giving compressions, switching with another person, and using an AED. It then explains that hands-only CPR involves only compressions, no rescue breathing. The document notes that this is an informational session and not a formal CPR course, and encourages practicing compressions if health allows. It emphasizes that early CPR can double survival chances and help prevent brain damage until emergency responders arrive. The key steps of hands-only CPR - check for safety, assess for consciousness and breathing, call 911, then push hard and fast in the center of the chest - are explained. Examples of proper

- 3. WHAT IS HANDS-ONLY CPR? •Compressions Only • No rescue breathing • For non-healthcare providers, or healthcare providers who are off duty and without special equipment (like a mask) • We will briefly review AEDs
- 4. IS THIS AFORMAL CPR COURSE? • No. This is designed for the general public may be nearby in the event of a cardiac arrest. • Will not meet the needs of most employers • No certification issued • No written test • No competency assessment. No Pass/Fail • For informational purposes only. • Participation in the skills practice is encouraged but not required. • CPR requires effort. Do not participate in the skills if you have doubts about your health when performing this task.
- 5. WHY LEARN CPR? Itis estimated that about 60 percent of heart attacks resulting in cardiac arrest occur in the presence of a witness who might be able to save the victim. EARLY CPR doubles a person’s chance of survival from sudden cardiac arrest. It takes 4-8 minutes for trained responders to get to the patient’s side. Brain damage can already be starting. Early CPR can help prevent brain damage
- 6. WHEN TO ACT? Checkfor safety • (15 seconds) No-No-Go assessment • (15 seconds) Start CPR • With in 30 seconds
- 7. NOT CONSCIOUS Yell atthe victim, shake him, or tap him on the shoulder to get a response. If the victim is not conscious or is semi-conscious (i.e., not responding), then he is a "NO," and the bystander should move on to the next step.
- 8. NOT BREATHING NORMALLY “Breathing normally”means appearing to breathe normally or talk. The victim can be short of breath, but if she is talking, that is still "OK". Agonal, really slow, or ineffective breathing is treated the same way as no breathing. So, if the victim has been determined to be not conscious AND not breathing normally, then the patient is a "NO," and the bystander should move on to the next step: CPR
- 9. GO CALL 911AND START CPR! It is time to take action. Call 911 and place the phone on speaker next to the patient, or direct someone else to do so. Then start hands-only CPR. "Push Hard and Fast in the center of the chest"
- 10. TWO STEPS TOSAVE A LIFE! (HOW TO DO CPR)
- 11. STEP 1: CALL911 When you encounter any medical emergency of any type (including a NO-NO-GO situation): Call 911 or have someone else do it. If possible, place the phone on speaker next to you and the patient.
- 12. STEP 2: PUSHHARD AND FAST ON THE THE CENTER OF THE CHEST Push as deep as they can, Come up all the way, “Keep a beat.“ • 100 compressions a minute • A whole bunch of songs • Use a metronome: “There is an App for that!” Don’t worry about hurting the patient. • Ribs may break – Keep going! • The patient may make funny sounds – Keep going!
- 13. THINGS TO REMEMBER: Hand Position •(heel of one hand on center of chest and lower half of breastbone, with the other hand on top Body Position • (knees by victim’s arm, get up on knees with shoulders directly over hands on the chest) Push Hard Push Fast—“Stayin’ Alive” rate= 100 pushes/minute. • Each compression should go down at least 2 inches, then up 2 inches. • Switch rescuers every one to two minutes if possible—you can coach someone else how to do this. • It’s important to act as a team/coach each other

- 18. Continue compressions until….. - the victim shows an obvious sign of life - the scene becomes unsafe - an AED becomes available - you are too exhausted to continue - or a trained responder takes over
- 19. AED’S • An AEDis an AUTOMATED medical device designed for use by laypersons. • You DO NOT have to be medically trained to use it. • A dispatcher can talk you through it. • Most also have voice instructions. • It does not always shock • It electronically determines if the patient needs or does not need a shock. • Not all patients need a shock • It supplements CPR, does not replace it. • CPR improves the chance an AED will work • AEDs can be found in almost all public places • Restaurants • Schools • Airports • Public Buildings

- 27. FAQ: "WHAT IFI MESS THIS UP OR DO NOT REMEMBER EVERYTHING?" That’s OK!!! Whatever you do will be helpful. Placing a phone by the patient on speaker allows the dispatcher to help you! If you can physically do compressions, the dispatcher can talk you through the rest.
- 28. FAQ: WON’T IHURT THE PATIENT? CPR is rough on the body, but it is worth it. • Failing to act quickly wastes the window of opportunity. Broken ribs will heal if they happen. This is likely with elderly victims.

Editor's Notes
- #3 Hands-only CPR is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths. It is recommended for use by people who see a teen or adult suddenly collapse in an “out-of-hospital” setting (such as at home, at work or in a park).
- #4 Hands-only CPR is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths. It is recommended for use by people who see a teen or adult suddenly collapse in an “out-of-hospital” setting (such as at home, at work or in a park).
- #5 Hands-only CPR is not intended to take the place of more formal CPR courses required for the workplace, babysitters, or healthcare providers. Instead, Hands-only CPR is meant as a means to reach out to the public and provide the information to lay persons who might otherwise never step into a classroom to learn traditional CPR. 90% of cardiac arrests occur in the home in front of lay persons such as you will be teaching. Hands-only CPR can be taught to untrained bystanders in 5 minutes or less, over and over again, reaching a huge audience. It is ideal for public relations events.
- #7 In a perfect world, bystander would be well-versed in basic first aid and recognition of emergencies. Unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world, and often bystanders are unsure what to do or when to do it when faced with a possible cardiac arrest. This can lead to hesitation on the part of the bystander. The No-No-Go! concept simplifies the decision-making process for untrained bystanders. This is the same sequence of questions that dispatchers will walk bystanders through when they call 911. Trained bystanders should rely on their training.
- #8 A bystander may yell at the victim, shake him, or tap him on the shoulder to get a response. If the victim is not conscious or is semi-conscious (i.e., not responding), then he is a "NO," and the bystander should move on to the next step. NOTE: Victims may also have some twitching or jerking that might make you think of a seizure; this comes with low oxygen in the brain and will usually stop quickly. Otherwise, this may also be an actual seizure disorder. In both cases, 911 is still needed.
- #9 Breathing normally is a difficult thing for bystanders to grasp. For the purposes of this discussion, breathing normally means appearing to breath normally or talk. The victim can be short of breath, but if she is talking, that is still "OK" for this discussion. However, agonal, really slow, or ineffective breathing is treated the same way as no breathing. So, if the victim has been determined to be not conscious and THEN not breathing normally, then she is a "NO," and the bystander should move on to the next step
- #10 It is time to take action. Call 911 and place the phone on speaker next to the patient, or direct someone else to do so. Then start hands-only CPR. "Push Hard and Fast in the center of the chest"
- #11 Hands-only CPR consists of two easy steps: Call 9-1-1 (or send someone to do that). Push hard and fast in the center of the chest.
- #12 When instructing lay people to call 911, it is important to prepare them for this experience. Most will have never called 911 before, and many have misconceptions about who answers and what will happen. Some important facts/teaching points: Dispatchers are trained to answer the phone and can help talk a caller through many emergencies, not just cardiac arrest. Placing the phone on speaker will free up the bystander's hands to perform CPR. Dispatchers often work in teams, so while one dispatcher is talking to the bystander, another dispatcher may be actually dispatching EMS. Answering a dispatchers questions does not delay help, it speeds it up. The dispatcher will also ask for details like the location. It is important to be specific, especially if the bystander is calling from a cell phone as that is not associated with a fixed location or address.
- #13 Many bystanders have never done CPR, or learned it a long time ago when it was much different. Teach the bystanders to push as deep as they can, to come up all the way, and to "keep a beat." There are a number of different songs you can play on your cell phone to coach them.

- #20 An AED, or automated external defibrillator, is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It's a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, medical device that can analyze the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock, or defibrillation, to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.
- #25 Idaho's Good Samaritan laws are fairly broad and provide pretty good civil (Tort) immunity against claims for providing aid. It has exceptions for gross negligence, which is a pretty high bar to prove. In most cases of cardiac arrest, doing CPR would have to be pretty outrageously bad to qualify.
