Why Learn Hands-Only CPR?
Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at any time, often without warning. Having life-saving skills and training can go a long way to keeping your loved ones safe in the event of cardiac arrest, as every minute that defibrillation is delayed, the person’s chance of survival is reduced by 10%.
