Picture this: You’re at home, and suddenly someone you love collapses from a heart attack. It can be a scary and overwhelming experience, but being prepared to respond with CPR can make a huge difference. Most heart attacks happen at home, so knowing what to do can truly be a life-saving skill.
November is CPR Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Performing CPR when someone’s heart stops can double or even triple their chance of survival. But how ready are you to step up and save a life?
Remember, the first step is calling 911, but starting chest compressions immediately while waiting for help is crucial. It doesn’t have to be like the movies—real-life CPR is fast, hard, and it works.
