As February is HeartMonth, it's an appropriate time to acquaint yourself with compression-only CPR. HeartHealth
When Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, just 24 years of age, collapsed after receiving a hit to the chest during a football game Jan. 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, on-field CPR provided by the team's trainer likely saved his life.
With CPR, bystanders dial 911 and then provide high-quality chest compressions by pushing hard and fast in the center of the victim's chest. Hands-only CPR may reduce the time it takes to start CPR and deliver a greater number of chest compressions with fewer interruptions for the first several minutes after an adult or teen suffers out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
• Have somebody call 911, or quickly do it yourself. If you tell another bystander to call 911, ask them to stay on the scene and to tell you what the 911 dispatcher said. • Maintain compressions until first responders arrive. Cardiac arrest can be fatal if it lasts longer than eight minutes without CPR. Brain damage can happen after just five minutes.
With no blood pumping, carrying oxygen to the brain, serious brain damage is very likely. In addition, blood is not flowing to any of the other organs carrying valuable oxygen and sugars to the cells. Organ failure sets in quickly.
